If flowers and now fruit names are popular, why not vegetable names? Flowers are sweet-smelling, and fruits are sweet-tasting, but is the bad rep that vegetables carry? They are nutritionally healthy for you, they're the basic component for any salad, or any meal for that matter. And some of these names could work for your little asparagus.
