  I learned the word calibrachoa just a few months ago, for a flower related to petunias. Introduced only within the last 30 years. Often called "million bells".
  
  Named after a Mexican pharmacist-botanist, Antonio de la Cal y Bracho (1764-1833), so it should be pronounced kahl-ee-BROTCH-oa, but apparently the usual pronunciation is kahl-ee-bra-KO-a.

    I photographed a petunia-like flower on a neighbor's porch, put it into Microsoft Bing's Name that Plant, and got this identification, confirmed with other sources.

    Very clever. I had the tag that came with for my search.

    Quite a coincidence that I just learned this name, of a flower introduced in the trade only in the last 30 years or so, and then it turned up in your poem.

    I adore coincidence. Fuel for deeper thought.
