towe001 Posted March 29, 2010 Report Posted March 29, 2010 Thats it I'll take on any and everybody, me and my turtle, and lose. But really we're not like that are we ?? We're all for our corolla which, i believe in Greek, is the group of petals for a flower. When most people think of flowers its valentines day and all that luby duby stuff they hope to get. For others its "flower power" my follow hippies and free love and all that. So its got to be that we believe in free love and that jazz :D :D :D Quote

Gspec Posted April 11, 2010 Report Posted April 11, 2010 We're all for our corolla which, i believe in Greek, is the group of petals for a flower. "Corolla" is derived from Latin. Corolla is the deminutive of Corona which is Latin for Crown. But yes they are both used in relation to particular anatomy of a flower. This is derived from the Greek ... :bash: :yes: Quote
LittleRedSpirit Posted April 15, 2010 Report Posted April 15, 2010 (edited) "Corolla" is derived from Latin. Corolla is the deminutive of Corona which is Latin for Crown. But yes they are both used in relation to particular anatomy of a flower. This is derived from the Greek ... :jamie: :lol: I always thought the word Corolla meant "Crown of a flower" (IE the petals). Hence the little logo with the 3 petals on it above the C. EDIT according to allwords.com: Corolla: (botany) the outermost-but-one whorl of a flower, when this is not the same in appearance as the outermost whorl (the calyx). This is either a collective term for the petals of a flower or a term to indicate the fused whole of this whorl. Edited April 15, 2010 by LittleRedSpirit Quote

Yes, derived from latin. binomial nomenclatures (aka botanical names) are all derived from Latin... not Greek. :laff: Quote
