Why do we say "oops a daisy" and not the name of any other flower?

Actually this phrase has been greatly corrupted over the years. The original phrase came from the early 1700s as "up a day". It was then, as it is today, a nonsensical expression of the same meaning.


By the mid 1800s the day part was pretty much changed to daisy as the expression "up a daisy" and then to its various versions today "oops a daisy" "upsa-daisy" "upsy-daisy".....

Why do we say "oops a daisy" and not the name of any other flower?
Because if you are doing landscaping and you are pulling out dandilions you may pull out a daisy. So you say oops a daisy. If you believe that...you are stupid.
Reply:Because oops a chrysanthemum doesn't have the same ring to it.
Reply:Well oops a rose sounds stupid.lol
Reply:there`s a song that goes `pick me up buttercup`.


are the sayings related .lol
Reply:Maybe it was an old saying that started in the olden days when people would walk through a field and try not to step on the daisies....and if they did they would say, "oops a daisy!"....because daisies were everywhere and they didn't know the names of the other flowers...daisy was like a generic name for "flower"...and daisies grow out in the open where they might get stepped on...that is the reason why people say "oops a daisy!"
Reply:it just sounds right
Reply:its a bit of a play on words instead of saying ''oops a day'' people say oops a daisy, daisy is the closest to day.
Reply:"Ooops a Geranium
Reply:Good question. Dont know the answer.


Name this flower for 10?

I took a photograph of this beautiful flower in Benidorm yesterday, it's such a wonderful colour, but what is it? The head of the flower is about 1.5 inches in diameter.

Name this flower for 10?
It is the Lantan species. Lantana camera. Grows wild and also used as hedge plant in gardens.





The flower is a whole group of flowers arranged on the disc and the flowes start opening from the periphery and move towards the centre.





The flower on day it opens is yellow in colour and the colour changes to pink or red on day 2.


It remains on the flower head for 4-8 days and hence you will see pink and yellow flowers in the flowerdisc.





It is also available in single colours like white, yellow only. yellowish white, purple. red only and saffron color.


The plant has a strong aromatic odour.
Reply:Lantana, easily available in the house plant section of any good garden centre. It will not survive outdoors during the UK winter. I have had one which is happy in a frost free greenhouse during the winter.
Reply:It's called a lantana...Google images and you'll see =)





Beautiful pic, by the way!
Reply:It is called a Lantana, it is classed as a weed in S-Africa and people were asked to remove them from their gardens etc. It is an invader plant.
Reply:What a nice closeup. I'll go along with lantana.
Reply:Lantana camara - Yellow Sage Verbenaceae
Reply:I didnt have a clue but its a beautiful picture
Reply:lantana......lovely
Reply:i knew i wouldn't know the answer just wanted to admire it. It's very pretty.
Reply:It looks like some sort of Primula. Gosh its nice.


Poll......If I were to name a flower Rose P.鈾?could I get a patent on the name?

Or would I need to fly to England for written permission?

Poll......If I were to name a flower Rose P.鈾?could I get a patent on the name?
I don't think you get patents on names. I think they are just registered with some kind of botanical society.





And I'm pretty sure that if you develop the variety you can name it whatever you want.
Reply:you cant because is a composition of a standard name.. its like patent "Coca-Cola blue".. see?





Unless is a product created by you.. i mean a "plastic flower" and you name it Rose P.鈾? then you can get a patent for the plastic flower NAME, not the name or flower per se





I hope i made myself clear
Reply:Dont you patent an actual invention? You could Trade Mark it?





Whats so special about this flower, is it genetically modified?
Reply:If it's a rose, contact the American Rose Society in Shreveport, Louisana and they can tell you how to go about it.
Reply:by any other name, it's smell is sweet !
Reply:so whats gay about it?

Please tell me the name of this flower

I'm not good at describing them so i uploaded a picture to my yahoo web page at http://www.geocities.com/alias3843/flowe... Please let me know I would appreciate it! thanks

Please tell me the name of this flower
Hmmmm...hard to tell as they Echinacea and Rudbeckia can look similar.





If you can go up to the flower, feel the center. If it feels sharp like a "cone" then it's probably a coneflower (Echinacea). Here is a great link that shows the stems, flower and foliage up close of each. Take a look and perhaps you can compare with the original plant.


Rudbeckia (a few different ones)

Echinacea paradoxa

Once you think you have it narrowed down, you can also search the web for better pictures. Good luck! :)



Reply:Yes those are a cone flower. You can tell by how the petals turn so far back. Also check out the link that Muse provided. It's full of info and pictures!

Reply:At first look I thought Black eyed Susans too but after looking closer I'm leaning toward the cone flower. My black eyed susans don't have the drooping petels. And we have the yellow coneflower growing on our roadways here in Missouri and there are purple and yellow ones. Their petels seem to be a bit longer than yours and droop somewhat more.
Reply:Yup I agree with the other three, I think it is a black eyed susan. They are lovely and you have a whole bunch. You can pick them and put them in a vase and enjoy them in the house too! Very nice.
Reply:The cone flower or scientifically Echinacea
