Pâquerettes

Weimershof

'Pâquerettes' are common daisies.

Another flower name in Weimershof. The French name is said to come from 'Pâques', Easter, because the daisy flowers mainly around that time. The dictionary-maker Émile Littré disagreed, since it flowers almost all year, and traced it to Old French 'pasquier', pasture. The English 'daisy' is thought to come from 'day's eye': the flower head closes at night and opens in the morning.
