I found some interesting facts about daisies on the Internet.

There are approximately 4000 species of daisies that differ in size, shape, color and type of habitat.

They are found on every continent except Antarctica.

Daisies can live in both wet and dry climates, and they are resistant to pesticides and insects.

Not a picky plant, daisies grow well both in full sun and in part sun or shady areas.

The most popular types of daisies are Marguerite daisy, Gloriosa daisy, Shasta daisies, African daisy and Gerber daisy.

Daisies are part of the sunflower family.

The center of a daisy is called the flower head or floral disc.

Though it looks like one piece, the flower head is composed of many small flowers, called disk florets; they are small and have tubular shape.

Daisy is rich source of vitamin C. It has pleasant taste and it can be used as a part of salads, soups and sandwiches. Both flowers and leaves are edible.

Juice extracted from daisies was used for wound healing in ancient Rome.

Daisy blooms during the summer. Bees are the main pollinators of daisies.

When a bee lands on a daisy flower, it immediately seeks out nectar; in the process, it picks up thousands of microscopic pollen grains on its body. As it moves around on the daisy, it redeposits the pollen from the male anthers to the female stigmas. It also moves from flower to flower repeating this procedure hundreds of times each day.

I learned a lot about daisies in this post. I was not aware that they are edible.
