Bellis perennis, the daisy, is a common European species of the family Asteraceae, often considered the archetypal species of that name.

Daisy is a flowering plant that belongs to the family Asteraceae. This plant is closely related to artichoke and arnica. There are around 4000 species of daisies that differ in size, shape, color and type of habitat. Daisy can be found on all continents except Antarctica. It usually inhabits grasslands, meadows, gardens, urban areas and areas near the roadsides. It can survive in both dry and wet habitats, but it prefers well-drained soils and a lot of direct sun. People cultivate daisies because of their simple but very attractive flowers. Unlike cultivated types of daisies, wild types easily reproduce and conquer new habitats. They are often resistant to pesticides and insects. Because of that, wild daisies occasionally act like weed that cannot be eradicated easily.
Origin

Daisies are native to north and central Europe. The origin of the word Daisy is the Anglo Saxon “daes eage” which literally mean “day's eye”. It was called this because daisies open at dawn as the day just starts to begin. A Daisy symbolizes innocence and purity.
