UNSUNG HEROES
PLANT NAMES AND LABELS
By Annemarie Kasteel

An article about the lack of labels and names of the plants in nurseries or vendors and the difficulties encountered when trying to obtain the same plant again.
I have a several photos of labels, taken at our local nursery, which lack information

ΜΗΛΙΑ = Malus domestica
ΜΗΛΙΑ ΓΚΡΑΝ ΣΜΙΘ = Malus domestica, Granny Smith
Βυσσινιά = Prunus cerasus, Sour Cherry
ΑΛΙΟΤΖΗΝ = Alyogne huegelii
Rebutia ?
Sulcorebutia ?

Journal 17 Summer 1999
UNSUNG HEROES
I have realized that there is a whole group of people who give their time voluntarily and contribute to the success of
THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN, the Journal of the
THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN SOCIETY, and their names haven’t turned up in this thread as they haven’t actually written an article or supplied a drawing.
These are translators, proof readers and even those who supply the photos on which the drawings are based.
I hope to correct this in further UNSUNG HEROES.
For the time being I will mention / thank Ana Heidtmann and Graziella Seferiades for translations.
And Anthony Green for help with proof reading.
Photos of three very different bouquets to thank them.
