The Common Daisy

DaisiesThe daisy is a flower popular with children, who love to make daisy flower chains from them to wear as necklaces or bracelets, but did you know that there are over 70 different species of daisies?

The daisy is a member of the Leucanthemum species from the sunflower family. And did you know that daisies are non-aromatic? Mostly, the stems are unbranched and hairy, and hold just a single flower with a radius of anything from 3 to 8 cm.

Most gardeners consider the daisy as a weed, as it generally grows in the lawn you’re trying to keep green and clear of other plants.
