Hello everyone,
I had previously asked @dave to help me under tand the order in which plants are listed in the Database (not my own personal list); so here I am again, same question, different day.

The beautiful 'Brunnera Blooms' banner by @mcash70 led me to look at the Database for more information - to this page:
http://garden.org/search/index...

I still cannot figure out the order; it's not alphabetical no matter how I look at it. I know this is something I asked before, but I still cannot make my mind understand the logic.

The common names listed first are not in alphabetical order;
the botanical names listed second are not in botanical order;
the fancy names are not in alphabetical order.

Here is what I see:

-Heartleaf Brunnera (Brunnera macrophylla 'Emerald Mist'
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Dawson's White'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Hadspen Cream'#
-Variegated Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Jack Frost'#
-Variegated Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Looking Glass'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Mr. Morse'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Spring Yellow'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Variegata'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Langtrees'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Betty Bowring'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera 'Blue Angel'#
-Gold Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Diane's Gold'#
-#Brunnera orientalis#
-#Brunnera sibirica#
-#Brunnera macrophylla 'King's Ransom'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Silver Wings'#
-Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Sea Heart'#
-Forget-Me-Not #Brunnera macrophylla 'Silver Heart'#
-Silver Siberian Bugloss #Brunnera macrophylla 'Alexander's Great'#

Also please, the second to last one listed, Forget-Me-Not #Brunnera macrophylla 'Alexander's Great'#
- shouldn't that say False Forget-Me-Not?

When I 'shop' on the internet, I am asked how I want to view the lists: price low to high, price high to low, by color, most popular, etc.; maybe the computer whiz Dave the Magnificent Lovey dubby could figure a way to add a little button... Thumbs up so we can re-order the list 'botanical', 'common', 'cultivars', 'foliage color', 'flower color'...sorry, I got carried away for a minute Rolling on the floor laughing

[Sorry, that was so wordy; I may be infected with a mild case of @RickCorey -its.] Rolling my eyes.
