Jim:

No apology necessary.

I mean, up here we buy bedroom suites (pron. "sweets"); in some parts 
of the South, it's bedroom suites (pron. "soots").  We know what it 
means, what it is - just pronounce it differently.  Same goes for 
geographic features, flowers, you name it.

Besides, I always thought "Jonquil" was a really cool word.

Best,

bobinseattle.

Bob,

After doing a little on-line research, I find that you are correct. The 
correct name for the flower is Daffodil.  The term Jonquil is misused 
in parts of North America, and actually refers to a different flower.  
Thanks for pointing this out.
