plants
So I posted my list of plant names a little while ago, but I'm looking to add to my list, because I like having lists of things.
I have made a separate list for names that are words for flowers/plants in another language, but my main one is English common names, or most common common names and genus names.What are some botanical names you like, or some you find interesting or odd, or ones you think I could be missing?

Thanks!
I didn’t see your list, so I’m sorry for any repeats, but I tried sticking to more uncommon ones.Acacia
Aspen
Blossom
Clover
Dahlia
Daphne
Hollis
Marigold
Primrose
Sage
Sequoia
Wisteria
Garrick
Linden
Zinnia
My favourite plant names are Hazel, Lauren (from laurel), Willow, Yasmeen (from jasmine), Lillia (from lily) and Rowan :)
Your other list was so well done, I could only come up with a few that may have been missing:
Herb Robert
Sloe
Yew
Nettle
Gaillardia
Shirley Poppy
Scilla
Blossom
Chicory
I know some of these may not work very well as names!
thank you!
Azalea
Ivy
Linnea
Jasmine
Daphne
Susannah is a good one.
