Daisies (Bellis perennis) - a photo on Flickriver

            A common sight across the UK, daisies are a delightful sign that spring has arrived and summer is on its way.

Each flower has a rosette of small, thin white petals surrounding a bright yellow centre. These are supported by a single stem which grows from a group of dark green rounded leaves. The petals can sometimes be tinged with pink.

The name 'daisy' derives from 'day's eye' - referring to this humble wildflower's tendency to open when the sun rises and close when it sets.

Daisy’s have often been used to make ‘daisy chains’ by joining the flowers and stalks and then into pretty necklaces and bracelets.
