The word DAISY comes from the saying the days eye. Being a flower the daisy closes up at night and then opens up in the morning when the sun comes out. The old people from years ago thought that when it opened up it looked like an eye, an eye that signalled the start of a new day. That's how we get the days eye/daisy!! Flowertastic or what!!!
Speaking of flowers and stuff, the DANDELION gets its name from the french meaning dent de lion which means lions teeth. Over the years this got changed to dandy lion then to dandelion. Cool eh!!
By the way, a dandelion is not a weed, a weed is just a flower in the wrong place so in a cabbage patch a rose would be a weed!! Its just how you look at tings innit!!
