From a scientific standpoint, I do appreciate latin names for clarity, and the fact that it helps to avoid miscommunications based on similarity of or regional differences in common names.

But... I'm shit at remembering latin names, so I never use them unless I'm looking up care information or something, lol.

Sadly we don't have much direct light, and aren't allowed anything outside the window. I do have several decorative leafy houseplants, which always make me happy. But I may try a small selection of herbs at some point.
