A bit off topic, but on the subject of plant names...

We have a creek going through our yard, and every spring there is quite a frog chorus in the evenings. That got me thinking that 'Frog Song' would be an interesting name for a daylily seedling (there already being a 'Frog's Eye' daylily). I went to check the AHS database, but sure enough, somebody else had already grabbed that name. Grumbling

(Truly, I sometimes wonder IF I ever get a daylily seedling (or an iris seedling) worth registering, if any name I might want for that particular seedling would have already been taken. I have already seen quite a few iris names recycled as daylily names.)
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
