I think it would have. Anyway, I don't see that so much as a list of church stuff but more a list of genteelish lady stuff, among which vaguely competitive gardening would fit right in.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
OK, thanks. A glance at wikipedia seemed to indicated that they only grow much further south, but I think I'll go with it being the plant, and that it was a bit of a joke/pun/whatever to put a plant with a name like that at the end of a list of church stuff. There are a few other times in these books where she does stuff like that with plant names.

Do genteel lady competitive gardeners sneak into their neighbors gardens and sabotage their herbaceous contenders?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yes.

There was apparently considerable houseplant rivalry in that era. I read some other book in which women were boasting about having the best ferns.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There's the occasional bits in the Anne books too about going to the Exposition and winning prizes for butter or crocheting.
