treehugger said: Old age sucks! Can I say that here? ♥LOL, I've said it numerous times and many of us can relate! I'm 66 years old and I used to know both the scientific/botanical name as well as the common name of my plants and nowadays I sometimes stare at a plant, knowing that I know what it is and I draw a blank as to it's name ... it drives me crazy!
but many of our wonderful fellow gardeners here on ATP have helped refresh my memory with plant ID ... my problem is if I don't immediately mark the plant ... by tomorrow I've forgotten the identification again. I have lots of folders on my laptop full of photo's of my plants and sometimes I sit for hours scrolling through them trying to find a particular plant by looking at photo's.
