Fraser Valley Rose Farm | They're Not Speaking Botanical Latin "Correctly" Either @FraserValleyRoseFarm | Uploaded 1 year ago | Updated 10 hours ago
Novice plant people: don't worry! Botanical Latin isn't nearly so intimidating when you understand that no one really knows how to speak it. It's basically a constructed language, like Klingon or Dothraki - except that those at least have fan communities who actually speak them. Botanical Latin uses a blend of ancient Latin, Greek, as well as names of people & places to make a written vocabulary that varies widely in pronunciation. It's super useful, and it makes sense to learn - but don't take it to heart when you hear people nitpick about the "right" way to say it.
