Thank you for pointing that out Karen.
@Dave you do a WONDERFUL job with this site and I am one of those folks who can't stand the common names first bit in plant listings. Most of the "common" names that are used are very unfamiliar to me.
It isn't as though it helps the people who don't know the scientific names - as, say with herbs or veggies - Basils don't all start with Basil or with Ocimum - they might be under purple or cinnamon or lettuce leaf. Ditto all tomatoes aren't under tomato or Solanum - they're all over the place and peppers... I'd never heard of Cowhorn pepper - turns out some call what I've been growing for years that. At first I thought you'd need volunteers to help re-type - but as all the scientific names are within parenthesis, don't doubt you could write something that would make the words in parens appear first, comma whatever words are currently first. So Stokes' Aster (Stokesia laevis 'Honeysong Purple') becomes Stokesia laevis 'Honeysong Purple', Stokes' Aster. But, this site is free and we do appreciate your efforts at helping us seed swap.
Anyhoo - thought I'd bring it up - more and more people are becoming more familiar with common names as many seed companies now use them (people now search for Rudbeckia for instance or see them at their local big box store).
Karen - I know they may not, but do wish folks who like plant remedies would search them first. Many are quite dangerous and can cause liver damage. I was just texting with Lisa last night that as much as the local critters frustrate my gardening efforts - I won't grow the highly poisonous plants like Datura, Euphorbia and Ricinus. It's difficult to avoid all poisonous plants - so many of them are.
