Subject: LL-L Kornblume

What is the Low Saxon name for Kornblume/cornflower (Centaurea cyanus)?
1) High German, English and Dutch use Kornblume/cornflower/Korenbloom. The LS
aquivalent Koornbloom can also be found in
http://www.plattpartu.de/natur/sneekieker.htm.
2) In
http://nds.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikiprojekt_Biologie/Planten_un_Bööm
someone came up with "Trems". Examples are
http://meister.igl.uni-freiburg.de/gedichte/HS_Glock/SG5-28-6.htm
and
http://www.buecherquelle.com/reuter/laeus1/laeus019.htm
3) Peter Neuber's Wöhrner Wöör has "Blaumütz" för the Dithmarschen area.
On the other hand www.blumen-evers.de has Blaumützen
(http://baseportal.de/cgi-bin/baseportal.pl?htx=/BlumenEvers/main&cmd=list&range=0,15&Plattdeutscher+Name~=Blaumue&cmd=all&Id=3290)
for the "Blauen Eisenhut/Friar´s Cap/Aconitum napellus". That name is used in
High German, too: http://www.heilpflanzen-katalog.de/synonyme-eisenhut.html

Peter Neuber has "Hoppekoor" for the Aconitum for the Dithmarschen area.

Any ideas?

Kind regards,

Heiko Evermann

Translation for North Americans who are in need of it:

The flower Heiko is talking about is what is mostly known as "bachelor's button"
around here.  (I believe "cornflower" is predominantly non-American English.)

We simply called it _kournbloum_ (Koornbloom, Kuurnbloom), but this could be a
calque from German.

Kumpelmenten,
Reinhard/Ron
