Florists have a big problem. Nobody is buying enough flowers at this time. So, they decided to have a British Flowers Week. "Put British flowers in your window and take a photo," they said. This florist did just that. Here she is with her lovely flowers. You can see more on ... But what are British flowers? There's a verse by Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon (in Love's Labours Lost). Therefore, some flowers in Shakespeare's time are known. There are several flowers in cuckoo names. What are English "cuckoo buds"? They are of yellow hue. They could be buttercup, but I prefer the larger marsh marigold (kingcup). But there is "les an gog" and "meligog" for "marigold" in English - and what sort of marigold is that? Could they be Shakespeare's yellow "cuckoo buds"? And the silver-white flowers? When I was a girl I used the name "milkmaid" - another name is "Lady's smock". The water meadows were full of all these cuckoo flowers every spring.
