Sesquipedalian*
Had a customer ask me what sort of filler bushes we put in her yard and I told her I did not know. So, I offered to pull up the invoice from the supplier and let her know what it was. Turns out, the supplier invoices using the genus and species of the plant. I snapped a pic of the invoice and said “hope this helps”.
A few days later, she tells me that was not helpful at all.
* Not a plant genus.

Not a plant genius either.

I’m not an expert, but I know a bit, what was the list and can you describe the one she was interested in?

I came here for the gun stuff but the really bad puns are worth the entire price of admission, too.

Ok, you have my email. probably best if you let me know through that. If I do not know then I am sure I know people who do.

Uh, post a pic or send the name to me. If I can’t figure it out somebody on staff can.
“Most likely an arbrovidie. Which is spiro something.”
Arbor Vitae — genus name Thuja, not Spiro.

I guess your customer has no access to Google or Wikipedia. . .
