Blooming Babies: A is for Acacia

There's more to a garden than daisies.



 This is the first in a series of posts dedicated to nameworthy flowers.  All names are derived directly from flowers--from their scientific, Latin, English and French names.  I hope you enjoy this list and maybe find a little bit of inspiration.
