DAISY
Daisy is the common name for many different members of the composite family, Compositae. The name originally referred to the English daisy, Bellis perennis, a Eurasian perennial seldom exceeding 15 cm (6 in) in height. Its flowers have yellow centers and white or rose outer petals. In the United States, daisy more often refers to Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, another Eurasian perennial that grows to 1 m (3 ft) high and bears flowers with yellow centers and white outer petals. Both species now grow wild in North America. Several other daisies are the prairie daisy, Aphanostephus skirrhobasis; Shasta daisy, Chrysanthemum maximum; and Spanish daisy, Bellis rotundifolia.
