Apples and oranges I think making one name with a wonderful sensation
and one with a name that suggests something less appealing. :-)
But say "Glorious Roses" and "Magical Teablooms" - like "Princess Tree"
and "Paulownia". Neither name is derogatory and when either are used
inspire interest and examination. ;-)
Be well,
Charlie
