Lots of people have problems trying to get their heads around botanical names  Mrs . Bugs is no exception . We have a showstopper of a Wisteria Chinensis along the front of our cottage . Last spring Mrs . Bugs was out taking to the neighbours . One of them commented on the lovely shrub and asked the name , she replied " Hysteria "  Bugs

I made a list years ago , They are all true .
Mrs. Bugs and I were travelling in Co. Kerry with her parents who are quite conservative . I had taught her the name of Gunnera Maculata which has become very invasive down there . Mrs. Bugs trying to impress her mum , "the gonorrhea is everywhere ,its becoming a real problem " Bugs

Awww poor Mrs B she must have been sooooo embarrassed. Still can't stop laughing though thinking of the expressions on her parents faces when she came out with that one.
