I'm not sure what the rules are on the 'Also sold as' category, but I bought Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation locally, sold as A. aflatunense 'Persian Blue'. When I couldn't find it in the database under that name, I found it being sold at Brecks as Persian Blue, but with the correct latin name (including the cultivar Purple Sensation). Can this be listed as also sold as in our database? Why do vendors change the name of flowers if they know what the correct name is? In this case it's especially aggravating because the flowers are clearly purple so the made up name makes no sense.
