Named that plant

Diffenbachia (Diffenbachia maculata)/Dumb Cane/Mother-in-law plant

Wilbur

A few months ago I asked you to suggest a name for my new plant. Expecting a torrent of potential names to be submitted from my intelligent and creative readership, I delayed the update of the website in anticipation of the overwhelming response.

Nearly two suggestions were submitted. For the sake of argument, lets call it one suggestion.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am pleased to announce that the name of my new plant is: Wilbur! Thanks to Stu for the one and only suggestion, his Pythonesque logic proving that he had put a bit of thought into it rather than just spout out a few random names.

How about “Wilbur”

I Quote:

Clerk: Are all your plants called Wilbur?

Praline: There’s nothing so odd about that. Kemel Attaturk had an entire menagerie called Abdul.

Clerk: No he didn’t.

Praline: Did!

Clerk: Didn’t!

Praline: Did, did, did, did, did and did!

Clerk: Oh all right.
