Botanical names are not an attempt to show off or confuse They are a universal language which means that bboy(US) linaria (Switzerland) or I(UK) could go anywhere in the world, even if we didn't speak a word of the language, and know what plant a fellow gardener was referring to. We can also exchange plant talk with each other as we do on these forums. If one starts seeking specific plants or information about plants, one soon finds out the value of being explicit. And for that you need to use the botanical name - plain and simple.
Here's an example of why the botanical name matters.
It just seemed strange that that would be found in a pot of seedlings which was kept in a greenhouse and the soil came from a LOWES bag of compost.
I guess I could assume that a seed flew in there when they were packing the compost on the farm. I do not believe any of my neighbors have this kind of plant.
