    In myth, they were said to have been white originally, but a nymph pricked her finger while plucking them to soothe a crying child, and her blood turned them red. Later, Crusaders wrote poems about them. By what name do we know them today? (Extra credit if you can give the Latin name, which pays tribute to the nymph.)

    Question #57845. Asked by lanfranco.

    Flem-ish

    Rubus Idaeus aka raspberry. Named after the nymph Ida. The crying child was the infant Jupiter.
