I Didn’t Know The Names Of The Flowers — Now My Garden Is Gone.
Nearly every species is named due to its characteristics, geographical location, or cultural significance to the people naming them. Many of these names of flowers can seem unusual, comical or even absurd, but most are fitting when placed in the proper context. The most common trend when considering the etymology (study of word origins) of names of flowers is that they are almost universally named to describe their appearance.
