haha! Bev, I know this is a time stealer isn't it! But its fun chatting and getting ideas! I have truly learnt so much on here! I find myself now saying "sempervivum" rather than "hens and chicks" etc. I've never been into using latin names because I learnt some spanish, italian and french as a kid and the pronunciations for plant names seem so random, I find that as I'm getting older it matters less
it still riles me though to pronounce several different ways the letter "e" or "i" within the same plant name
