Achillea tutti-frutti 'Saucy Seduction'

I love Yarrow...finally got it to grow in my front garden...was supposed to be orangey-red...but it's white!! alas. Haven't a clue what their trying to say with "tutti fruitti"...it looks more like a strawberry milkshake! Just another case of fooling around with as wildflower's genes...

Does look like a lovely colour :o)

Nice. I must admit I agree with you about the ame; I much prefer a saucy seduction!

Hmmm...I could have guessed that, Toto!

Pip - Lori... yes, I've found that a lot of Achillea last as a lovely colour for a few years and then revert to being 'Yarrow', and an 'off-white' colour. They get removed then!

Silly name pretty flower :-)

Absolutely! It's ridiculous. :-(((

They probably think it's creative! Still not the worst one,some the new echinaceas are horrid, like 'Tomato Soup' and 'Mac N' Cheese'.....

Oh dearie me. I won't be buying them! That's a real turn-off...

Tomato Soup? lol.... sounds like it's a failed attempt to produce orange strains...but Mac'n'cheese? Please!! they must be bulimic!

Dreadful names. Simply awful! :-(((((((

Personally I don't think your flowers should tell what you might have for dinner...

LOL......how true! Have you thought that they 'could' be edible ones? :-D)

LOL :-)

I bet the next thing will be Tomato-and-cheese LOL

Eeeeeuuuuggggghhhhhhh!!!!!! The mind boggles!

Spaghetti bolognese,or maybe carbonara!!!! ;-)

Fish 'n' chips 'n' mushy peas????

Hah,we can be on that forever...:-)))

How about 'chicken Schnitzel' or maybe 'Mortal sin cheesecake'? I could live on that forever LOL

Fun, isn't it - we should hire ourselves out to the plant breeders!

Raspberry Shortcake, anyone? I can imagine that one....:-))))

Lol,a quick googling gives you a ‘Raspberry Tart’ Echinacea :-)))

Too late, too late! Something more outlandish, I think....'Lemon or Orange Soufflee'? Classy plant!

there is ‘Meringue’ :-)

Hmmm....needs a sauce or cream with it, though! 'Whipped Cream Meringue'...lol.

There's a Coreopsis 'Creme Brulee'.Love google,hah???

I know that one, I have it already!

Hmm...'Coronation Chicken'? (what a horrible colour 'that' flower would be!) lol

ahaha surely you jest? the person who named the Achillea "saucy seduction" must have O.D.'d on Viagra.

Of course we jest, Lori... how about 'Sticky Date Pudding'? Yum!

Or 'Zabaglione'...now there's a good name - lots of people would accept that as a 'true' flower name - they might even think that Signor Z. had bred the plant! LOL.

Or - how about taking up Lori's thought on all this and call one 'Viagra'...maybe not - men might eat it for real, and hope! Hahaha....

Very funny....

Oh, I am, I am! ;-D)

We'll probably have to suffer food and seductive names for a while.Imagine when they get borded of that???

What will it be next? Transport? A Dahlia called 'London Bus'????? LOL.

Lets hope Dahlia 'London Bus' is bright red. May I suggest 'New York Taxi Cab' for a yellow cultivar?

I like that - a definite! :-))) There's an open-top bus that goes onto the moors - a brownish-red colour. So we could have Achillea 'Quantock Tour'....??

LOL :o)

Belive it or not,the creator of 'Mac n' Cheese' have got now an even more miserable Echinacea 'Now Cheesier'.I wish I was joking......

I wish you were, too....I would hesitate before buying that plant, I have to say. The name really puts me off...:-(((

My Gosh when will they stop? Although why anyone would call a plant 'Mac'n'cheese' it the first place? One would hope the flowers were yellow.

Yeah,yellow:-) Name is a definite put of!
Maybe some dark tulip will get named London cab ;-))

LOL. I'll stick to 'Queen of Night' thanks. :-)))

Some of those fancy Clematis hybrids are pretty confusing if you ask me...

How true! Imagine a committee sitting round scratching their heads for more outlandish names - with lists of the ones that already exist!

Yeah,and reject anything that sounds to 'normal' !

LOL......What's 'normal' these days?

Probably something like Clematis 'Bright Pink' or horror of horrors, 'Sunny Yellow'!

Noooooooo....those names are just AWFUL!! :-(((((

Okay, how bout just 'Pink' or 'Lilac'... doesn't work does it???

Nope. :-(((

'Sunny Yellow' is a sunflower waiting to be unleashed on us!!!!

At least it's appropriate to the plant - not something to eat. LOL.

lol

How about changing the 'Chocolate Cosmos' to 'Marmite on toast'?????? LOL

Or even better, something like 'Decadent Saucy Marmite Seduction'...

Yuck!

LOL, Pip.....that's sooooo funny! LOL.

;o)))

Oh, and by the way, I didn't write them down, but I spotted more Achilleas in the tutti-frutti seduction series - the name was so long on the label I couldn't even read the last part! (I wouldn't have bought it, anyway. The flower was a really dull faded pink...)
