Charles Marshburn: Whoops! Didn't read it all About: - Charles Marshburn: Hypothesis on why "Phlox" is "Sweet William" in Sulphur Well Charles Marshburn: writes: "Didn't read the part about the white flower. Had the same problem in school!," and apparently admitting he's stumped, adds, "I think you have discovered a new species!" Thanks: That will be a first in 78 years, Can't remember any invention of mine which had been conceived by someone else hours, weeks, years and sometimes centuries before. A new species would suffice as just reward for all that disappointment. - EW 2018-04-22 18:30:00 | Comments | Printable version
Charles Marshburn: Hypothesis on why phlox is Sweet William About: - Wildflowers of KY: A Master's Roadside Bouquet, wherein the captioneer refers to what the rest of the world calls "Wild Phlox" as "Sweet William" Charles Marshburn writes: "Sweet William" most likely originated in Sulphur Well and Center and spread from those locations to the rest of the planet. "Phlox" is undoubtedly a misnomer derived from the preponderance of errant seed in the wind. - Charles Marshburn>Thanks, Charles Marshburn,. I buy it, totally. In more than one half a century, I had not figured that out. It's pure genius on your part. But there's still a mystery: What is the little ten-petal white flower in the photo? Hope someone can enlighten us half as much on that as you have on the Sweet William/Phlox issue. - EW 2018-04-22 18:18:44 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
