Simple Daisy Blossom with Leaves

The daisy is a hardy perennial herb that thrives in open fields, gardens, and grassy lawns across the world. Each flower head consists of a prominent disc in the middle encircled by delicate, slender petals radiating outward. Supported by slender green stems, daisies bloom continuously from early summer through early autumn, providing nectar for bees and butterflies.

Botanical Features of the Common Daisy

The name daisy originates from an Old English phrase meaning day's eye, referring to the way the flower head opens at dawn and closes at dusk. What appears to be a single flower is actually a composite head made of many tiny disc florets grouped closely together. Daisies are resilient plants that adapt easily to varied soil conditions, making them a common sight in wild countryside landscapes.

  • Outer petals: crisp white, pale pink, or soft yellow
