• this article seems a bit thin on information. e.g.: what about petunias being perennial? different varieties? origin? perhaps this article should be labelled a stub? --Stewartjohnson 01:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)asdfsaf

[edit] French

Amazonia was a colony in the hands of the Portuguese seems highly unlikely the word came from French? Are you sure it was them?

[edit] Sexual reference

The entire bottom half of the article as currently written seems off. The-bus 14:49, 21 March 2007 (UTC) HII!!!

[edit] Sexual reference

Agreed. So I took out this bit:

Petunia is also used as a slang phrase in parts of Western Europe, to signify the attractiveness or otherwise of the female sexual organ. It became popular in repressed Ireland but is now widely used in the Euro-zone. Mainly the preserve of lesbian groups it has gained popularity in recent months in straight crowds, largely due ot its use in cutting edge comedy routines in the UK.

If someone wishes to create a "petunia-slang" entry, he/she is welcome to it.
