Q. Apart from being plants, what have Dahlia, Fuchsia and Forsythia got in common.
PS. I don't think it is because they all end in ia  |
Are they perhaps all botanists.
Anders Dahl (1751-1789) Swedish botanist
William Forsyth (1737-1804) British botanist
Leonard Fuchs (1501-66), German botanist
And the IA was added to their surnames to make the names of the flowers.
