Has anyone else found that Wyevale are not very clever at selling plants with
the labels showing genus, species/varieties.
I feel quite strongly that this company, Homebase and most of our garden
centres want reminding that we do like to see the correct descriptions on
the plants we buy.
The naming for various cactus & succulents is abysmal & I believe that moves
are afoot to point out to the centres that it is in everybodies interest to
that ensure their suppliers label ALL their plants correctly.
Could we not support Dr. Tony Mace Of the British Cactus & Succulent Society
in his efforts to rectify the situation?
