As we say farewell to last days of
April let’s look at the Daisy the flower for April.
It was often called Bruisewort or
Woundwort. Each petal is a flower and
the yellow center is a huge colony of tiny yellow flowers. The name Daisy from day’s eye as the flower
closes at night and opens again in the morning. Chaucer called it “eye of the
day”. Many parts of the Daisy are edible. Romans used a slave made from crushed
daisies to cover battle wounds as it has astringent properties.
Daisy – a girl’s name
Daisy as a place – Daisy, West Virginia
Daisy Duck – Disney character
Daisy Bell – Actual title of the song…
bicycle built for two…
Daisy Dukes – very short denim shorts
Daisy symbolizes innocence and purity,
new beginnings.
Because of the higher amounts of rain
in April Daisies are also known as “Thunderflowers”.
Have we not all picked a daisy and in
dreamy fashion plucked the petals and whispered ….he loves me, he loves me not…
This week I present the Artz of
Daisies.
