Catmint20906 said:trying to look for a particular cultivar of Agastache, and regardless of how I pronounced it, every nursery I went to corrected my pronunciation and insisted it was pronounced some *other* way!

Note to self - write the name on a small cardboard to flash at the nursery staff instead of trying to speak it.....

treehugger said:OK here is a true story. A number of years ago I worked in a garden center and on Mother's Day a young man came in and wanted to buy "one of those chlamydia vines" for his wife. So I took him to our vine area and showed him the different one we had in stock carefully mentioning each with correct KLEM-uh-tis or the next one klem-AH-tis so he could hear the correct pronunciation. Over and over I mentioned each name. He finally selected one and at the register he said, 'My wife always wanted me to give her this chlamydia bushes." And away he drove in his truck. I'll never forget that Mother's Day.

Real life is frequently stranger than fiction.

Acorns explanation is here: http://garden.org/special/acor...
(there's a link at the bottom of the page)

When you earn some acorns, one of the things you can do is to buy "badges," which are the cool little icons you noticed. Links re. badges are in your "profile" (the person-looking icon at the top left, near the mail and other icons). http://garden.org/users/prefs/...
