My kids and I were reminiscing about the books we remembered reading (or having read to us) when we were young. My daughter came up with The Lonely Doll, When the Sun Rose, We Like Kindergarten, Jessica (Kevin Henkes)and The Story of Holly and Ivy. Those were her "young 'un" favorites; these were from her pre-teen/teen years: Alice in Rapture, Sort of (the Alice series -- Phyllis Reynolds Naylor), Just As Long As We're Together (Judy Blume), Are You There God?

The names are familiar. The plants are familiar. But who are the people whose names have become synonymous with the plants that honor them?             British plantswoman Vera Jameson (1899-1989) was married into the Jameson’s Irish Whiskey dynasty. She discovered the dark-foliaged seedling that now carries her name in 1968, growing in a bed along with Sedum cauticolum and Sedum ‘Ruby Glow’, as well as Sedum telephium maximum ‘Atropurpureum’. The plant was first exhibited at the Royal Ho
