    Lots of people have problems trying to get their heads around botanical names :D Mrs . Bugs is no exception . We have a showstopper of a Wisteria Chinensis along the front of our cottage . Last spring Mrs . Bugs was out taking to the neighbours . One of them commented on the lovely shrub and asked the name , she replied " Hysteria " 8) Bugs

    Awww poor Mrs B she must have been sooooo embarrassed. Still can't stop laughing though thinking of the expressions on her parents faces when she came out with that one. :D :D :D
