Daphne du Maurier?

The red haired girl from Scooby Doo?

Daphne and Des from Neighbours?

The woman in Frasier.

'Daphne you're leading again' towards the end of 'Some Like it Hot'

Cadelaide · 04/08/2009 15:26

So what am I thinking of then? I just goggled an image of Daphnia and all I get is the water flea.

Is there not a Daphnia flower, surely there is?

Cadelaide · 04/08/2009 15:26

googled, of course

Would like to say Du Maurier, but have to confess it was Neighbours circa 1986.

My Mum

There is also a butterfly called 'Daphne' - named after my mother (by her uncle, who worked for the Natural History Museum I think).

My mother has always said never, ever give a poor child that name as she loathes it!
