What's in a Name

  

















Word play in titles and names fascinates. Oldies like "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof,"  "Steel Magnolias" and  "Atlas Shrugged" led their audiences into discovery.

How boring to name streets - Main, Broadway or with numbers. Creative combinations would delight everyone. License plates provide opportunities to combine numbers and letters to amuse those driving behind. 

When it comes to roses, you can name a rose for someone special with a price starting at $4,000 and going to $15,000 or more.

J. Benjamin Williams and Associates, breeders of many of the world's prize-winning roses, offer new and unusual roses for exclusive introduction to the nursery industry. They will provide a rose in color and habit of growth, all based around your personal preferences.

Williams started hybridizing roses in the 1950s. He wanted novel roses, especially striped ones. He developed a series named after the Dutch master painters.

Rose names include famous people and creative titles like Knockout or Midas touch. You could hand-pollinate your own roses, collect the seeds and grow them to develop distinct colors, shapes, and growing patterns. It might take ten years but you name them.

I found a few orchids to name.

Play and rename streets in your neighborhood. 
Think up titles for plants and flowers. 
 Bounce a variety of words for their sounds and textures.
