When did I miss the news release about them becoming the same programme

It make s a refreshing change from assuming that everyone still

what plants are called in a language that 99.999% of the British public
cannot understand.

The programme truly reflects the poor regard that the *professionals
in
the gardening industry have for the general pubic.

Daisy is a Daisy

No it isn't. There are literally dozens of plants that get called
Daisy. Daisy means very little.

Well, I love Bellis perennis but I'm deeply enamoured of Erigeron
karvinskianus, too. And as for Argyranthemums........ ;-)))
