Yes, the flower is similar to a daffodil, but on a very thin stem. In full bloom, the flower tends to be too heavy to be held upright, giving it the appearance of looking down. Put water next to them, and the parallel with the Greek legend becomes apparent.
All daffodils are species of the genus narcissus, of the Amaryllis family. The common daffodil is narcissus jonquilla. True paperwhites are narcissus papyraceus. The flower my mother used to call a paperwhite is really another type of daffodil.
YAY someone who knows the song! I totally blanked out on it. The sound of music gets a bad rep, but it is a really awesome movie. I saw the play one time.
The Sound of Music gets a bad rap, really? Most people I know that have seen it either like it or love it. What specifically about it is questionable? Genuinely curious.
Same here, but I think people would have complained if you had two Harry Potter questions in one not HP-quiz. They're sometimes doing it even if there's a single question on this topic.
There is also a brand of evaporated milk called Sego, and a Sego is "a plant of the lily family, with green and white bell-shaped flowers, native to the western US."
ring a ring a roses, a song about the plague, ashes ashes??? I was taught, over 60 years ago that it was atishoo atishoo. (spelling? anyway they are sneezes). we all fall down
Which apparently is the american version. You won't find atishoo and ashes in the same version anywhere it is always one or the other (or sometimes hush). There are many many versions (though not all used anymore).
The most common british version is:
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies,
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.
I actually only know the song from horror scenes (more from games even than movies) where you hear an eerie girls voice softly sing it in the background.. (I dont think I have ever encountered it where it was actually played, without a horror element)
Bloom and grow forever
