As Kathleen Kelly from You’ve Got Mail said, “I love daisies…They’re so friendly. Don’t you think daisies are the friendliest flower?”

They sure are the friendliest looking flowers. When you see a daisy you can’t help, but smile. The sight of them can perk up any foul mood. They’re a cheery little flower that exudes joy and has a wonderful whimsical nature. These tiny lovelies take me back to elementary when I’d run the fields during recess looking for pretty flowers to pick.  They’d end up in sweet little bouquets or as lovely hair ornaments. Where I lived you could find them just about anywhere so they were a flower I picked quite frequently.
Did You Know?
1. Daisies have a few different meanings: innocence, purity, new beginnings, and true love.
2. These pretty little flowers are edible.
3. They have medicinal properties.
4. This one I did not know. Daisies are actually two flowers in one.  The white petals are one flower, while the yellow center is another.
5. In the Victorian Era people were to uphold certain rules of society. Proclaiming one’s love for another through words or affection was not acceptable, therefore, they had to find secret and clever ways of showing someone how they felt. They would do so by sending daisies. It was a way of saying I accept your affection and I reciprocate it.
6. A commonly used phrase “fresh as a daisy” means to be healthy and full of energy.

Daisies are like a breath of fresh air. An unexpected, but lovely choice for a wedding. They look great on their own or paired with brightly colored blooms. I hope these wonderful examples encourage you to consider these overlooked flower.
