| A friend of mine is planning a children's garden with a celestial theme: the plants should all be named after the sun, the moon, the planets, or stars. I've given her a few suggestions but would appreciate some more. The celestial name can be the genus, species, common name, or a cultivar. Of course there are the obvious ones like sunflower, moonflower, and Cosmos. Any more suggestions??? |
