Are there any plants, bulbs or shrubs called "Maureen"

I'm trying to find a suitable way of creating a small memorial garden for my Mum who died recently. I would like to give something to my Dad, brothers and sister using her name. I think I've seen tulips in Holland but are there any other options?

Apparently there's a Clematis and an Astrantia. Not sure where to get them from though.

i dont know of any off the top of my head Amd, but i wanted a clematis called victoria and i googled that and it came up. so try doing that with any plant types you like. i'd be amazed if there isnt a rose with that name. good luck.

my husband says there is a white tulip called maureen.

Sorry to hear about the loss of your mum. I think your idea is a lovely one, and we'd all like to know your eventual choice, keep us updated...... :-)

There is a very pretty Clematis supplied on line by www.Thomas-Morgan.com called Fond Memories which I think sounds rather nice for a memorial garden. Type in Clematis/Fond Memories and Thoms Morgan site will come up it is £9.99 Good Luck

I have found this site recently that has roses named after people and there is a yellow HT Rose called 'Maureen' on there.
