Schweizer Deutsch is the funniest sounding language I’ve come across (advance apology to any Swiss tuning in, ya?) – I mean why did they change the pronunciation of so many Deutsch words? E.g. Liebe (love) is pronounced lee-ber in high German; why change it to ‘lee-ay-bee’? It’s beyond my ken. 😉

*slaps forehead* Ah, the labels at the bottom! My hills are not alive with the sounds of Swiss-German.
Love the Latin names though the last one looks rather like an orchid.

Argus Lou – Enjoy your transplanting. We lived in Austria for 6 years and loved every minute. I remember the first time we drove to Switzerland – and stopped to ask directions in German from two men at the roadside. One replied in Schweitzerdeutsch, and I couldn’t understand a word. I must have looked blank, because the second man then translated into standard German so I could comprehend!

The ginger names are down in the labels section of the post.

I’ve a blog entry titled “Feathered friends flock together” (yeah, lame, I know).
Am a temporarily transplanted Malaysian. Hi, Glenda.

Would your husband have names for the gorgeous-amazing ginger flowers?
