                I'd almost agree with Silver Surfer's answer...but for one thing, the leaves of the plant in my borders are alternate while the Hesperis=matronalis are opposite. So I'm slightly "at sea" with this one.:dunno:

                I thought it might be, but i'm not up on cultivated flowers.

                Are they just changing the names to make me go back to college or did they change this one in case it offended Muslims?
