Some people have very strong feelings about this situation and the "moral" aspect of what is being done. Since I don't have a dog in this fight, I am not going to comment on that.
There is one comment I would like to make about the renaming of semps. I really wish we would be more upfront about what the original name of the plant was.
My reason for this being of the 18 plants listed in the data base that are Chick Charms, I already have 10 under their original names. If I was shopping at a nursery and could look at the back of the tag, then I could eliminate purchasing a plant I already have. I checked one site on Amazon that is selling Chick Charms. Specifically I was looking at Cinnamon Starburst. No where does it say this is really Jeanne d'Arc. Which I already have. I would not have been happy had I purchased CS and found out I already had it.
I really feel more disclosure is needed with regard to original names. And I don't just mean a tiny blurb on the back of the tag.
