What’s in a Name?

Sedum Morganianum, AKA Donkey Tail, or Burro’s Tail.

Although the equine names are far easier to pronounce, the botanical name seems more likely as I’ve never seen a donkey/burro with a tail that looks like this.

Have you?

    IT is a strange name and I’ve often wondered how it got the name.

      My fave thing about travel is researching everything I can about what we’ve seen, Carole!

      Possibly, although I’ve never seen one of those either. Have you? I wish there was a 😂 icon to respond, Mitch!
