Can You Spell Maianthemum?

It seems so ironic that botanical nomenclature is meant to clarify the identity of plants. Instead it just confuses with constant changes. What do want to bet the whole thing is moved back in a few years, or maybe rolled into polygonatum. Meanwhile I'll just call them false soloman's seal and no one will be confused.

tedb... I'm with you!
Nancy... I never thought about the name being just like chrysanthemum. Easy way to remember it.

Well, now that we've had help in pronouncing it... how about that spelling? ;-) A very pretty little blossom.
This is definitely a pretty little flower, though I'd probably not think it was a Solomon's Seal just by looking at the blooms. The foliage is another matter, and that sure looks like SSeal! Which reminds me, I heard that others' Solomon's Seal was blooming so I need to get out and see if ours is finally up! Thanks for the reminder!
Don, I went out after work today and looked for the Solomon's Seal and sure enough, it's up about 2 ft now, but no blooms yet.
