Recording an error in plant labels (sc 2018-4-13)
135-2017
The woman is photographing a tag for the peony with the pale pink blooms. While I applaud her for her effort in documenting what she is photographing, I happen to know that that particular tag is incorrect. It references a peony that is known to be dark magenta in color. I wonder if she will ever discover the error? Worse yet, I wonder if this error will be propagated on the internet if she posts a photo of the pink blooms with the false label?

on Apr 13Nice story-telling shot. I suspect she'll find the truth if she tries to purchase/plant one based on that tag.
