Vertumnus and Pomona

I know these blogs are about analyzing the myths, but I couldn't help but realize where the modern supermarket Pomona, gets its name. I would never have thought that the name came from a Greek godess, and I was really surprised as I read. Once I knew that she was the goddes of fruit and that cultivating fruit was her passion, however, it was really easy to understand why it was chosen as the name for this Colombian supermarket.
Also, I am glad that finally someone was able to marry one of the virgin goddesses. In past myths that I have read, Diana, and several other nymphs whose names escape me, have all run away from love. Pomona on the other hand, gave in to the words of Vertumnus and they lived happily.
