I'm sure I am not alone in being lost while trying to pronounce the Latin names of the aquatic plants we grow. I usually just mumble the name and hope no one notices my ignorance. Today, I decided to begin correcting my ignorance, and stumbled onto PlantGeek.net - Plant Guide, where you will find the pronunciation of almost every plant we use. For example, how do you suppose you should pronounce "Alternanthera Reineckii"? It is, Pronunciation: al-ter-NANTH-ur-uh ry-NEK-ee-eye. I am bookmarking this site and I plan to be ready to speak Latin fluently the next time talk about plants!

You do have to register with PlantGeek to use that site, but it is free and easy to do.
