Hi friends! Thanks for coming along with me today for some delightful daisy nature study. I’m Mrs. Cindy and I’m glad you’re here!

Daisy Nature Study

If I asked you to describe a daisy, what would you say?

If I asked ten people to describe daisies to me, I bet most of them would tell me that daisies have lots of petals and a big, rounded center where you can find pollinators enjoying the nectar. They might also describe the stems as tall, slender, and rigid with leaves that are oblong and not smooth around the edges. This is a wonderful description of so many parts of a daisy!

What color petals would most people see in their minds as they describe a daisy? If you said white, you’re right. When most people think of a daisy, they picture a bunch of thin, white petals surrounding a bright yellow middle.

While there certainly are plenty of daisies that are white with yellow centers, not all of them are white. You see, white petaled daisies are part of an entire family of flowers called the Asteraceae family.
