What an interesting name. I wonder why?

Lots of cacti are named after a person or the place where they grow :)

Well - I did think it might be named after the person, and that's why I wondered!!!

Well - yes. Again - that's why I wondered!!! But - perhaps - Mary had a garden! I'd like to think so ...

I'd like to think so too :) but she wouldn't have had any cacti in it :)
