Quick Question regarding my Tuberose!!!! HELP I need to know: I live in San Diego and would like to know if the green of the plant dies & then comes back or if it (IM MY ZONE) will stay green through out the year and only flower once a season. If anyone knows - PLEASE ADVISE!

Can anyone please provide a source for the claim that Maryam means tuberose? Raystorm 17:32, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, found one in print. Raystorm 11:43, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Weird quasireligious POV phrasing

The following sentence is simply weird:

In Persian, it is called "Maryam" and is a popular name for girls (though this fact is rather strange considering that the plants originate from Mexico, and references to the name "Maryam" are made in the Bible and Qu'ran in the years preceding Jesus (ie. Before Mexico was re-discovered by the first Europeans)).

This sort of quasi-historical supernatural musing really has no place in an article such as this. It also makes no sense. I am removing it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.204.82 (talk) 05:17, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

I see that some "editor" decided to undo my edit regarding the really weird stream of consciousness comments left by whoever drafted the remarks about the Bible, the Koran, and some sort of implied mystical question related to Jesus and Mexico. Those comments are poorly written and make little sense. They also impose nonsensical quasireligious musings in what should be a straightforward article about a plant. This POV needs to be removed. If there is any legend or tale associated with the Persian name for the tuberose, that could certainly be referred to. But what has been posted here belongs elsewhere, perhaps in an article about puzzling folk nomenclatures. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.130.204.82 (talk) 09:31, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
