I could not agree with Voodoo any more. It will do you a lot of good to learn those terms. I had them force fed to me in school. I learned woody plants in Maine in the winter - as in no leaves or flowers. All those terms and having to key things out from twigs and buds was a great learning experience.

Again, agreeing with Voodoo, knowing plant id very well is a great confidence booster (for you) and great confidence builder (for your clients). I am a big believer in the theory that a clients confidence in you by far outweighs low pricing and other marketing propaganda. Anything you can add to building that cofidence is going to help your sales and customer loyalty.
