TOTALLY NUTS

To keep some order in our gardens, all plants need to be named (in Latin) according to the Linnaean system. This may sometimes seem confusing – especially when old favourites are suddenly renamed. However, sometimes those wise folks who name plants get it absolutely spot on and here is a fine example you take one look at this sanguisorba and you get it – of course it looks like a lilac squirrel, what else?
