I love the common names of plants; Jack-in-the-pulpit and Queen Anne's lace, baby's breath and brown-eyed Susan and Johnny-jump-ups, cigar plant and Canterbury bells. Common names do tend to be less accurate since one species may have several common names and vice versa but holodiscus discolor simply doesn't sound as nice as ocean spray.
