What was that quote about naming things? Something like "Once you give a thing a name, you take possession of it"? or something like that. Or "Once you name a thing, it loses its magic"?
Flowerbug is a he?

I was calling Whitlow grass by name today as I sliced it's little heads off with my Rogue hoe.
I've stayed outta this.
As soon as FlowerBug said something about a tiny weed with a white flower, I wondered if he meant the same little thing that covers the neighbor's parking area and my garden paths before I ever get there in the spring.
Then, I wondered if it really was just a white species of filaree like I'd long thought. But, that white filaree has different leaves and, I think, doesn't grow north of California! Yeah, I spent some time proving myself wrong .
Thank You, @journey11 ! I can't call it Whitlow Grass. It doesn't look like a grass so I'll never remember that name ... I'm working on remembering "Draba." Yeah, I'm gonna go with that.
