Hemero carllis. ;-) The opportunities for debate are endless e.g. Nye
fophia or Niphoffia (Kniphofia) I knew someone who pronounced Dahlia
as 'Darlia' but don't know anyone who pronounces Fuchsia as Fooksia.

The Dutch do.

That would make sense to Dutch and German speakers. I should probably
have said 'anyone British'!

Something to do with it being named after a German called Fuchs :-)

Yup!
