I'm pretty sure #6 is Heliopsis helianthoides, and #3 looks like Helianthus decapetalus. |

Very nice of you to thank us this way, jenmanci! Happy to have helped (luckily, I'm still alive).   Gorgeous photo of that Japanese Maple. Wow! Just a tidbit of information you may or may not care about...when writing the botanical names of plants, the Genus name is capitalized & the species name is not. (For instance, Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) Just took a quick look at your new list. A few comments: on 31, the Haworthia on the left might be H. attenuata (not variegated), but it is not an Aloe. The tall cactus next to it might be a type of Cereus, I don't see Haworthia ubomboensis or Haw. tortuosa or Haw. limifolia (but is 1 or 2 plants that I can't make out any details), the Shamrock is an Oxalis regnellii. The tall cactus on the right is Myrtillocactus geometrizans & the small one in front is a type of Parodia. On 40. it is not klissingiana, as that Mammillaria has much shorter spines. Have to run now. |

HAD to come back! I was curious, so I went to check out that site you gave (virtualplanttags) for GardenPilot. They have SO many mislabeled plants there! Wow! I thought, "Neat, another reference source!", but NO! Yikes! They have lots of made up names too. Granted, some plant names are correct...like the Agaves with a Mary Irish copyright watermark across them. The ones from Nova & Novalis seem to be way out of whack. If I were you, I would NOT use that site with any confidence! They list common names as cultivar names & sultivar names as species names. It's a mess! |

RosemarieRo, thanks for the new information on the plants I posted the incorrect names for. "When writing the botanical names of plants, the Genus name is capitalized & the species name is not." I didn't know that, bet it made my list look silly. "They have SO many mislabeled plants there! Wow! I thought, "Neat, another reference source!", but NO! Yikes! They have lots of made up names too." Well, crap... I thought I'd found a useful site. Thanks for telling me, otherwise I never would've known. Thanks a lot and glad you're still alive mitzilou-2 and RosemarieRo, no problem. When I saw that photo I thought it was so beautiful it took my breath away
