Ipheion - Tristagma

[Graeme]

Jessie - a real good blue

Charlotte Bishop - a not bad pink

I haven't changed my labels Grahm but it's now Tristagma and presumably  as that ends with 'a' its uniflora

No, "-ma" is also a neuter ending so the end stays the same on the specific,

As the late lamented Peter Cook, in his guise as E L Whistey, used to say "I would have like to have been a Judge, but I didn't have the Latin"

Thank you Fermius

I will get them changed - I thought they had changed but was not sure what they were now called
Not noticed the spelling - copy and pasted the name from the internet to save me typing it and getting it wrong - oops

Tristagma Ex 'Alberto Castillo' from AGS seed two years ago.

more plants we "should"  (    ) re label, eh?

The trouble is Tristagma doesn't have the same ring to it as Ipheion does it?  I like the sound of the names as much as the plants

[Maggi Young]

I know what you mean, Brian -  something  pleasing about Ipheion. Odd how we form these likes and dislikes, isn't it?

[David Nicholson]

It could be Ipheion again tomorrow for all we know, I shall not be changing my labels in any case.

Yep, I can't get my head round Dysosma either, to me they'll always be Podos.

All Greek to me, Davo!
 

BTW, Brian, do you say I-fi-on or Iffy-on?
cheers

Well I say Iffy-on but as, for the first thirty years of my life I said halycon instead of halcyon, I wouldn't rely on anything I said  

In my defence the dictionary says

from Greek alkuōn ‘kingfisher’

where surely the k is a hard sound
