I am busy with the hawkweeds; that is to say, I am learning to distinguish and to name as many as I can.
For scientific classification I have little mind; it does not happen to fall in with my habits of thought; but I like to be able to give its name (the trivial by choice) to every flower I meet in my walks.
Why should I be content to say, Oh, it's a hawkweed?.
