Thanks for the input, Blue Fox. I do know that many species of Eupatorium have recently been reclassified as Eutrochium which is what I was told that one is when I received it. I will double-check on that particular plant but leave it as is for now.
You are correct about the other. I made a mistake and wrote down the wrong name. It is Gaillardia grandiflora, to be exact. So sorry about that. Perhaps the editor can correct it.
Thanks for being so vigilant.
