Daisies
No other flower is so often mentioned in romantic literature. Daisy is derived from a Celtic word that, translated into English, means “day's eye.” And this, in turn, refers to the fact that daisies open their petals at sunrise and then close them again at sunset.
The daisy flower on any plant is your clue that it belongs in the composite family, renamed Asteraaceae after a most famous group of daisies, the asters. Composites are an immense clan totaling a whopping 13,000 species. It is topped in diversity only by the orchid family with its 17,000 species.
Composite flowers are composed of two parts. The center is composed of fertile flowers known as the disk. What appear to be petals on the outside of the disk are actually sterile flowers called rays. While this looks like a simple design, these are among the most complex of all flowers. Botany references begin with the simplest plants such as mosses and then present plant families in order of their evolution. Composites are always at the end, the most evolved and complex of all blossoms.Daisies make excellent garden plants both annual and perennial, with each genus differing in hardiness and adaptability.
