    Kinda like knowing how to start “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe …” so he ends up choosing what he wanted in the first place?

    Look up Jud Strunk – Daisy A Day on YouTube — but be sure you have a big box of facial tissues handy while you listen! One of many songs that should never be lost to our society.

    How have daisies affected human genealogy through the ages?

    “Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do” . . . from a song entitled Daisy Bell written in 1892 by British songwriter Harry Dacre and said to be based on the real-life Countess of Warwick, Frances Evelyn ‘Daisy’ Greville.

    This was the first song ever played on/sung by a computer. In 1961, an IBM 7094 at Bell Labs was programmed to sing “Daisy Bell” in the earliest demonstration of computer speech synthesis.

    Daisy, the flower, is also interesting. A daisy is a composite flower, consisting of many individual flowers — small, tubular flowers [disc florets] arranged in a central disc and surrounded by showier, long-petaled ray flowers.

    The disc florets are small, tubular flowers packed closely together to form the central button-like disc. ​ They usually have a slender, tubular flower with five short, evenly spaced, pointed petals around the flower’s edge. Disc florets display three petals fused into an upper lip and two recurving lower petals, which give a rather fluffy look to the disc.

    One or more rows of ​ray flowers​ ​(ray florets)​ surround the disc. The ray flowers are the petals that get pulled out. Each row [or ring] can have between 15 and 30 petals. That’s a lot of pulling.

    Plugger can’t do that while sitting on a flimsy tree branch.

    Hope springs eternal … However, sometimes it should come out “She Love Me Not” or as middle-aged folks say, “She’s not that into you.” :)

    They grow a particular blade-count in Murrysville. Or at least they used to. They parked the Redstone Highlands on top of a bunch of them so maybe not as much now.

    if I went out in the garden, picked a flower, and started pulling the petals off, my wife would not love me!

    Just choose the ones with an odd number of petals.

    After what we have gone through over the decades there is no need for any question about whether either of us loves the other. If not I would have been gone long ago.
