One Streptocarpus........., Two Streptocarpus.........

Streptocarpus picked for sale -- Gary's Specialty Plants
Story # 29,


      One Streptocarpus………., Two Streptocarpus………


      I have found myself avoiding the so called correct plural form of Streptocarpus, which some dictionaries list as Streptocarpuses.


      It’s hard not to smile when hearing the Christmas song: ‘All I want for Christmas is a Hippopotamus’.  Part of the cuteness is when the girl has to add another syllable to sing Hippopotamus es.


      You are welcome to say:  All of the sheepes, the mooses, the deers and the Streptocarpuses, but--------------

      I prefer to keep it at one Streptocarpus………, Two Streptocarpus………
