The common daisy, scientifically known as Bellis perennis, is a flower that many of us are familiar with from childhood. Whether it's making daisy chains on a sunny afternoon, or spotting their cheerful faces peeking through the grass, these flowers hold a special place in our hearts.The common daisy is a perennial plant native to Europe but has spread to many parts of the world, including North America and Australasia. It belongs to the Asteraceae family, which also includes sunflowers, chrysanthemums, and asters. Daisies typically have a yellow central disc surrounded by white (or sometimes pink) ray florets. This simple structure is deceptively sophisticated; what appears to be a single flower is actually a composite of many tiny florets.
The daisy has been a symbol of innocence, purity, and new beginnings for centuries. In Victorian flower language, giving someone a daisy was a way to express loyalty and share a secret. The name "daisy" itself is derived from the Old English "daeges eage," meaning "day's eye," a nod to how the flower opens at dawn and closes at dusk.Daisies have also made their mark in literature and popular culture. From the famous line "Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer, do" in the song "Daisy Bell," to their role in myths and legends, these flowers have woven themselves into the fabric of our stories and songs.
