Tiger4X4RV in the Taxon world I was drilled by Dr. Richard Shaw and always kept the comment in the back of my head that he shared to a visitor to the National Park he was working in. He was enquired the name of a flower and answered; "None of these beautiful things had names until man needed a way organize things into a fashion. So if you don't know the name, no reason you can't still enjoy them!" But he was never at a loss at identifying the different flowers, plants and grasses. But he was always steady on the fact one should not be caught up on this need. Just enjoy being out there with them.
For me it is still fun to classify and see the colloquial names for many of the same plants. For me, they are still, PLFs, Pretty Little Flowers. But I love learning from others and I for one am not any final answer on what one is. But going with; Petal, Leaf, Color, Size, Location and Time helps get you into the right classification. So that is how I do it, Pjay9.
Just like, Fleabane. That is a slippery slope in all the different types.
No you are getting an idea why I travel so slow, anywhere I go.
