Talk:Bellis perennis

Gallery

I am not sure that this article needs a gallery. What it clearly doesn't need is a gallery of every available photo of a "daisy", regardless of species. --Hans Adler (talk) 20:59, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ray florets

Under "Growth" was the statement that the flower has 15-30 ray florets, referenced to Encycopaedia Britannica. The reference was discussing the family not the individual species. Anyone who has daisies in their lawn can confirm that the count for B. perennis is more like 30-50 but I can't find a reference for that so I just deleted the misleading numbers.Newburyjohn (talk) 19:41, 16 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

There's a discrepancy about the genus name, Bellis. One section says it's Latin for "pretty", while the next says that it refers to war or battle. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.6.225.113 (talk) 16:36, 2 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Minor Edit

I added a section on plant fertilization as part of a class learning how to create citations. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Proper Bobcat (talk • contribs) 23:09, 22 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Invasive?

Under “Cultivation”, the article states that the plant is invasive, without specifying the country/countries. In the introduction it states that it’s native in Western Europe and introduced in several countries over the world, but the Cultivation section seems to be too focussed on the perspective of one unspecified country. Does anyone know what country they talk about? Arjane92 (talk) 12:05, 14 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

A country that occasionally seems not to know the rest of the world exists? ... the mention of the US Department of Agriculture could be a clue. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:56, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Move discussion in progress

Does Bellis perennis have any subspecies?

Hello, I am here to ask that does Bellis perennis have any subspecies? BloxyColaSweet (talk) 21:48, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@BloxyColaSweet: not according to Plants of the World Online. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:44, 15 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Names

It seems the fanciful name “Mary's Rose” is unattested and should be removed. It does not appear in Ellacombe as suggested in the text. It does not appear in scholarly lists including Nowick (referenced). It certainly isn't how the daisy was “commonly known” in “Mediaeval times”, whatever that means. 64.231.167.138 (talk) 12:58, 27 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
