Columbine, snapdragon, day lily- these are some of the common names that most people use to identify flowers. But to find these same plants at a nursery, gardeners must know their botanical classifications- Aquilegia Antirrhinum and Hemerocallis. Gardening expert Anne Halpin makes it easy with The Naming of Flowers. Beautifully illustrated by Rob Proctor, the book identifies 27 familiar flowers by their Latin and common names, and offers interesting snippets of folklore and fact about both the plant and its name.
