English Daisy • Bellis perennis
The English daisy is a cultivated species, introduced from Europe and now widely established along the coast of the Pacific north-west.
Daisy, or “days eye,” is from the Anglo-Saxon doeges-sege meaning “eye of the day” because of the tendency of the flower to open and close with changes in sunlight. Also the yellow disc in the middle resembles the sun.
Bellis means “pretty” and there is a legend that the genus was named after Belides, one of whom died in fear of Vertumnus, the god of spring, and sank to Earth in the form of a daisy.
