A great many people mistakenly equate botany with horticulture. This is a real tragedy in view of the fact that horticulture is exactly what the meaning of the word implies;it involves only the cultivation of plants. Botany encompasses many disciplines among them physiology, amatomy, histology, biochemistry, ecology,and many others. Most "Botanical gardens" are, in reality, horticulutral display gardens only...a real tragedy.

I'm not sure what's up with the OP. He/she (I say he because if you google the name, it seems the person may be a guy even though he goes by Lisa11) is posting junk/spam messages in many forums both here and on other sites. The posts are often annoying and seem to be from someone with genuinely (I'm not being sarcastic) low mental abilities.
