Of Naked Ladies and Forget-Me-Nots: The stories behind the common names of some of our favorite plants

Award-winning author and plantsman Allan Armitage tells the stories behind the common names of some of our favorite and lesser-known plants. From Hooker's Lips to Hairy Balls, Voodoo lilies and Gas Plant, this books of laugh-out-loud yarns is required reading for every plant enthusiast.
Kerry Ann Mendez, designer, lecturer, and author of The Right Size Flower Garden, says, about the book, "The minute I read the title of Allanâ€™s new book, I was hooked. What gardener wouldnâ€™t love well-told, fanciful stories that unveil the mystery behind some of the wackiest common names for plants? Allanâ€™s delightful sense of humor, mixed with painstaking historical research and his own brilliant knowledge as a renowned plantsman, provides the foundation for a delightful book that engages readers of all ages and gardening backgrounds. A must-read!"
