Re: Marguerite means Daisy
in reply to a message by Lily
I should have clarified, I speak French I know pâquerette is French for daisy. I've always heard daisy is still correct for the botanical term "la marguerite commune" because marguerite is my grandmothers name too but we don't call her daisy lol. I don't care for the name I just see the connection but you're right technically it's not the same flower. I guess enough peoe always thought so so it became ok lol

I speak French too :P Yeah sometimes in English a marguerite is called a daisy marguerite so it's confusing :) They're both very similar anyway. I guess Daisy could also be derived from Margaret because a nickname for Margaret is Maisie and then Daisy is pretty close.
