    Wow it's amazing what you can learn on these threads- latin names. dialects. etc.

    I just chose the name because I love all the different clematis flowers - boring but true :luv:

    Mine came from the main character in one of the short stories I wrote a while back. The story was " The Alternative Three Bears" and the main character was called Gingernuts instead of Goldylocks. :scratch:

    gingernutsman, I'd love to read that one! Do you have your work online for public viewing?

    My Nick was an embarrasing compromise, I originally joined this forum after a trip to Morrisons and while petting my £1.49 Clematises and emptying my £3.99 wine bottle somehow managed to mistype my email. After days of furious complaining to the forum Big Bosses I STILL HAVEN'T RECEIVED THE CONFIRMATION EMAIL YOU... I noticed the error and decided quietly to register again under a nickname nickname.

    BTW, Selleri means celeriac in Finnish. I find it quite tasty.
