Re: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Constant
I actually quite like Vinca and Oleander. I doubt I would use them, but they seem realistic to my tastes.
As for Hyacinth... we have it on our list as Giacinta and Giacinto (the Italian translations). I agree that it would be a bit much in English, to me.
Love your list though - plenty to think about!
