Beeflower

/ˈbiːflaʊər/ noun

Definition

A plant with flowers resembling beef in color or texture; possibly a flowering plant used as food or historically in cooking.

Etymology

From 'beef' + 'flower'; likely a regional or historical plant name combining appearance or culinary use, though the exact botanical identity is uncertain.

Kelly Says

Plant common names are wildly inconsistent and regional—a plant called 'beeflower' in one area might be unknown elsewhere, making historical plant identification a linguistic archaeology puzzle.
