You're silly. Of course vernacular names are useful. What a silly thing to
say in a public forum. Do you ever stop to think before you hit the send
key? You're as silly as an Anseranas semipalmata.

Can I offer you 100 Rose of Sharons at $2.00 apiece? [1] (In the UK Rose
of Sharon is Hypericum calycinum, which is a ground cover plant, and it
shouldn't be difficult for me to dig up that sort of number of shoots.
In the US it is Hibiscus syriacus.)

[1] Not a serious offer; I would have to add P&P to make a profit.
