Do you think it is normal to name a plant?

Reply:Of course it is okay to name a plant! I have a plant named Alfred Spike that sits in my living room. Whenever my friends come over they say hello to it. Report It

Reply:Well to be perfectly honest with you I named my truck Double D and my sister's name is Paige so why would it be unusual to name a plant.


See now dont you feel better?
Reply:I used to have a Schefflera name Queen Liliuokalani ( she was a Hawaiian queen and Schefflera is a tropical plant so I thought a tropical sounding name would be cool ). Now, I have a Croton named Goliath. I haven't named my other plants. I do talk to them while I water them. Especially my African Violet. I tell it how beautiful it is.





So, no I don't think it's weird ;)
Reply:No i name my plant silver beauty cause it has silver on its leave and b4 that one i had one that i named isis.
Reply:Not at all crazy. Several plants in my jungle have names. Makes it easy to discuss a specific plant by it's given name when you can't think of the botanical designation.
Reply:Well.....if it isn't going to come when you call it by name, it actually doesn't need a name.
Reply:My daughter's first car was named Norman. My impossible to reach cobweb was named Charlie.


Anymore questions about what I think???
Reply:yea if your crazy! lol
Reply:Too many to name with one exception, a Beaucarnia recurvata I was given in college. I call it Gert after the woman who gave it to me. RScott
Reply:My brother's wife did that. She bought the thing in high school less than a foot tall. Now it crowds the ceiling and is too big to move. She has to trim top to keep it from crowding top. They have been married 28 years, and as far as i remember, she bought it a couple years before that. She named it Igor.
