#Vss365 (gardener's version)
Many #Flowers are named for #Botanists as a way to give them #Credit for their work.
But in 1910, The #Rutland Daily #Herald in #Vermont shared this #Charming #Story:
A #Country #Nurseryman had a #Flower named Rhodum sidus that was selling like #Hotcakes.
It was popular w/ the #Ladies & the sage of the #Season.
When a #Botanist asked where the #Plant was #Discovered, the man answered:
"I found it on the #Road beside us, so I #Christened it the Rhodum sidus."
