Names

«Flowers have names?» Scarlet said, her eyes as confused as to widen. She was staring at Luther as if seeing him for the first time.

She hadn't ever thought Flowers would have names. Those were for people, but...

«What is my flower's name?» she continued. «Can I call it Jimmy?»

«Jimmy sounds like a wonderful name,» Luther said. «But usually flowers have a name for every one of their types. For example, let's take roses. Do you know what a rose is?»

«Yes,» Scarlet said, nodding her head.

«A rose is a kind of flower. Every flower with that shape and scent is called rose.»

«Oh, I see,» she said. It was a little hard to understand fully, but she could grasp the overall meaning. «I didn't know flowers have names. But it's better like this. So my mommy can tell daddy to buy her roses instead of just flowers. Do you think my mommy likes roses? And is my flower's name?»
