Biology lesson

So I have two kinds of Sarracenia leucophylla, which is a kind of carnivorous plant. It has tubular leaves, which are white and frilly at the top. One had green veins- Euterpe- and the other has red veins- Dionysus.
This is Dionysus, named after the Greek god of wine.

So do you give your plants names then?

Also, I find that rather morbidly fascinating.

Yes, I name them. And the references all mean something. Maybe I should put them on here for the shits and giggles. Think I should?

I think my biggest mistake I think was naming one of my sundews Priam, after the Trojan king who, of course, dies. And the plant STILL isn't doing very well, a month or so after being potted. D: The other one, Helen is bouncing back but he's still all "nuu".
