		Less obvious may be cultivar names such as 'Elijah Blue' Festuca (from Elijah Lane on Long Island), 'Husker's Red' Penstemon after the Cornhusker state of Nebraska where it was selected, or 'Bressingham Comet' Kniphofia or Torch Lily named after the famous nursery in England, the source of many of our perennials.

		Parrots are called by a number of names to include parakeets, cockatoos, macaws, conures, lorikeets, amazons, and rosellas.
		Today, approximately 94 species of parrots are at risk for extinction, primarily due to habitat loss with rainforests being cut down and the birds being caught and sold or traded.
