HortErrata

🌱Curated Horticultural & Botanical OOPS & ERRATA from the confusing landscape of internet and social media, including my own goofs from @GardenOpus!

😱YIKES! The ID Sleuth misidentified his own Dahlia!🙈 Caught my major naming goof while digging & storing tubers for the season. This Formal Decorative beauty is 'Almand's Climax' often sold as 'Almand's Joy' (Almand, 1968). One for the @HortErrata pile!🤪

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

No you didn't LOL, & can't believe I'm talking to a plant ID bot.🤖🤣 You said a completely unrelated Bidens - a Coreopsis relative & dicot,
in the Asteraceae & yellow-orange, was a Habranthus - which is in the Amaryllidaceae, a monocot, a bulb, & pink. Don't quit yer day job!😂

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@LFGardens Beautiful, but not Crocus sieberi (Sieber's Crocus) 'Firefly' which has a yellowish inflated base, & broader tepals. That's Crocus tommasinianus (Tommasin's Crocus or Tommies) shown here under snow. Hopefully the stock you're selling is not also mixed up.🤔

[Longfield Gardens @LFGardens]

Crocus are generous with their pollen and honeybees are grateful for the feast. Support your local pollinators by planting several different varieties of crocus. This one is an early-bloomer named Fire Fly.

Clarification of my @HortErrata, affectionately share blame w/American Dahlia Society web, incomplete & scattered info. Derrill W. Hart Medal = high score ADS trial garden pre intro, prior year. A win triggers agreement to introduce next year. ADS doesn't state year, likely 1974.

[HortErrata @HortErrata]

A shame that bot sites like this one confuse new gardeners hungry for information, by placing incorrect images w/their content & not responding to requests to fix. #Muscari (#GrapeHyacinth) a completely different plant, images are #Hyacinthus. #HortErrata. https://t.co/WG01Gj8Qoq

Once again I discover a typo long after the fact - as in months! https://t.co/X4qMN0VYVl

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

Ohhhh, YIKES, was searching for my #Epimedium tag of photos, for a potential client planting - and realized I misspelled!😨 @HortErrata

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

MANY HATS: #Epimediun alpinum rubrum, Bishop's Hat or #Barrenwort (#Berberidaceae) - a shower of ruby & white to brighten a garden path.

[Bob Stewart @BobStewart723]

If we start finding these in the Himalayas, global warming and sea rises are a lot worse than we thought! 🙂 https://t.co/3U4aqB4KY2

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@susanjtweit @swami2005 Funny indeed, @BobStewart723 among others caught this @HortErrata rerun first. LOL the toilet brush comparison! 😂 https://t.co/S3CWLuAMwy

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@nedthetoothpik Unfortunately, this is severely manipulated, same circulated on https://t.co/GfdCo3LqBf widely debunked. @TweetAIS @andinsky https://t.co/9hE0ueKVYk

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@3sekko The garden #peas in your photo are #Pisum sativum not #Clitoria (which is an #herbal medicine). @TexanInOz @nparksbuzz @HortErrata

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

Ugh - more @HortErrata, TYVM for catching @kimy5469! Tribe #Cymbidieae, with #CymbidiiNae ("n" oops) yet another subtribe! Ohhhhhh....😯😯😯 https://t.co/n9E3b5GEPl

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

Ouch!!! My own @HortErrata! Misspelled #Oncidiinae! A sincere mea culpa, in a sea of ii and eae! https://t.co/nbQZovGqls

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@master_seeding Excellent #Lithops projects, but please note that they are in #Aizoaceae not #Cactaceae, so the #cactus tag is @HortErrata. https://t.co/yB6dgwzDOv

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@HDagehus Lovely, but #Veronicastrum #virginicum (#CulversRoot), not #Lythrum. @HortErrata https://t.co/S6l3Yl4TQl

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

Hi @StellaSanLF, sadly, photo sites not vetted for accuracy rich source of @HortErrata, this #Phlox a great example. https://t.co/fY1t7ybXpb

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@StellaSanLF Unfortunately, your lovely photo is of #Phlox, completely unrelated to #Lilac (#Syringa). @HortErrata https://t.co/vpRNfiOAoX

[GardenOpus @GardenOpus]

@DKlipping Not #laurel, #Laurus or #Kalmia, but a pretty wild #cherry, #Prunus #serotina or #virginiana. @HortErrata https://t.co/iiGffuUVUi

[HortErrata @HortErrata]

@LGartenblog Lovely #Hemerocallis, but not Stella de Oro (Jablonski, '75), possibly the species H. #liliasphodelus. https://t.co/9t2tpmKv0H
