No need for the -'s there. It's clear how you would pronounce gooseflower and lionmouth in English. See words like overdrive, supercomputer & laserprinter. No -'s, no spaces. Not for relative short words (four syllables or less).

In swedish a flower is called blomma. Couldn't find where the word comes from but must be related to the word bloom, cuz like with english we say "när blommorna blomma", (when the flowers bloom [out]). A lot of flower names are almost the same in english though a bit different in spelling and pronounciation. Daisy = tusensköna (from the words tusen = (a) thousand, and sköna = (a) beuaty /belle, also called "skönhet") (pro. tuu-zen sch (phlegm-sound as in José, not an H sound, very common in swedish words) -uh-na) Forget-me-not is more or less translated into Förgätmigej which is an older saying of that phrase (in modern swedish it would have been "glöm mig inte"/don't forget me). Tulip = tulpan (pro. tull-pahn) Orchid = orkidé (or-she-deh) "Mother in law's tounge" is directly translated as svärmorstunga (mother-in-law is called svärmor, with svär comes from "swear" as in "swearing an oath" which you do when you take someone's son or daughter's hand in marriage, on a side note the same goes for svärfar/father-in-law, brother and sister-in-law on the other hand are called svåger and svägerska respective, on another side note svär can also mean "swear" as in cursing/saying bad/foul/dirty words, which can be joked about in our language) (pro. s-weh-r moor-s tung-ah) Carnation = trädgårdsnejlika (garden dianthus, though the word nejlika are sometimes confused with the spice clove, which is from the clower of the Mystaceae tree) Foxglove = fingerborgsblomma (tra. thimble flower, due to it resembles a thimble, not to be confused with thimbleweed) (pro thing-ehr bore-yeh (as a very short of broken-off yeah) -s bloo-mah) Fuchsia = same as in english but pronounced like f-uh-shh-ee-ah Peony = pion (pee-oon) Dandelion = maskros (dir trans "worm rose", the worm part refers to the larva of the thrips which crawls on its petals and feed upon the pollen) Rafflesia arnoldii is the same in swedish. As a bonus, I can tell that in sweden we have another flower that is named after the lion and that is the snapdragon (Antirrhinum majus), called lejongap (pro lay-on gaah-p) meaning lion's maw, probably because it looks like a lion's gaping maw seen when it roars or about to bite.

Bloom, Blume, Bloem, Blomma, Blomst, Blóm are just the Germanic words for flower, coming from the same root as the Latin Flos and the Irish Blath. Bloom in modern English only refers to the blossom however rather than the whole plant. Blossom has this same root as well, being Blostma in Old English, being related to Low German Blosom, High German Blust, and Dutch Bloessem.

Last time I was this early you could pay for college with a tulip!

In middle English, the dandelion had another name: pissabed, because it's a diuretic. (The modern French name express the same sentiment.)

As a German i have to say, that dandelion sounds much nicer than LÖWENZAHN!!!

Mistranslated from Dutch we would call dandelions horseflowers. Some in the east would probably name daisies gooseflowers, so even by that you can tell they are related?

I have a client who live in Myosotis street. I knew it was a flower because all streets on that neighborrhood are named after flowers, but I didn't know which one it was nor what was its name in English.

Dandelions in Swedish is Worm rose, Foxcloves is Thimble flower . Forgetmenot, has the same name in Swedish and the legeden is that God made the flowers and named them all , and the Forgetmenots whisper For get me not... and that is the name they got.

Rose in most European languages comes from the Latin Rosa, which in turn comes from the Greek Rhodon. This word was originally Brodon but lost the initial B in certain dialects, such as the Attican and Ionian ones that would shape modern Greek. Brodon most likely came from the East along with the flower where Armenian has Vard, Old Persian has Vrda, and even Semitic languages would adopt the root in Warda.

I like the story of Hyacinths. Hyacinth was Apollo’s lover who was killed in a game of discus. As he died, Apollo turned him into a flower, with the words “alas” written on its petals to mourn for his death. Hyacinths were considered the most beautiful flower by the ancient Greeks due to this myth.

Flower comes from Latin flos, not flor. In preclassical Latin the accusative of flos was flosem, but the s softened to an r in classical Latin, giving florem. Then in late Latin / early Romance the m stopped being pronounced, so the nominative/accusative distinction (and the neuter gender) was lost, and flor was used for both. Meanwhile (well much earlier actually) the Germanic languages were pronouncing the f like a b, so we have the English word blossom. The word comes from an old verb meaning to bulge or swell. It's also related to English words like bull, ball and belly. The Greek cognate is phallus.

1:38 I recognise this from my jigsaw puzzle app!

It's true that tulips are closely associated with Holland in the West but in the Balkans, the Middle-East and Central Asia, the tulip is associated with Turkey since it was the symbol of the Ottomans, and Turkey has many native tulips. In fact, the tulip is a symbol of Istanbul. Also, 'tülbent' doesn't mean 'turban' in Turkish, it means "muslin cloth" aka cheesecloth or gauze, which was the fabric used for turbans in Ottoman times. Guess there was some confusion between the turban and the cloth which carried across to the flower somewhere along the tulip's path to Europe (o;

Dent-de-lion is modern French, or at least it is written the same way. However, the most common name for this flower in French is "pissenlit". It comes from "pisse en lit" which means "piss in bed", because of the diuretic properties of its roots.

To go along with orchids being named after male genitalia, the scientific name for the Butterly Pea is Clitoria ternatea, due to its shape.
