Latin for your landscape


Fine Gardening's Guide to Pronouncing Botanical Latin
OK, this is really boring, but for those with an interest in landscape, well... you'll probably be bored as well. My compatriot here at L+L says that I butcher the Latin names of plants. Admittedly, my Latin stinks, but at least I know that Pinus, Latin for "pine," is pronounced PY-nus, unlike a certain client who was confused with a part of the male anatomy... wrong kind of wood, my dear.
