[Opinions] Re: Petunia

Beautiful flower, ugly name.
Well, it depends.
If we’re pronouncing it like puh-TUNE-ee-ah, then sure, I find it to be a little pretty. But puh-TUNE-yah isn’t ugly, I just find it to be the same as Gertrude - very frumpy and unpleasant. Not a fan.
I love Chloë’s idea for Petunia Maxine and Petunia Chantal.
