How to identifyThe common daisy has spoon-shaped leaves that form a rosette at the base of the plant, close to the ground and among the short grass it favours. Another event that honors this venerable flower is the Daisy Festival Outdoor Fest in Albert Lea, Minnesota. Another idea is that it is after the nymph, Belides, who transformed into a Daisy to escape the attention of Vertumnus (the Roman God of Seasons and Gardens). Other common names for the Daisy are ‘Bruisewort’, ‘Bairnwort’ (from Scotland, refering to the joy of children gathering the flowerheads to make Daisy-chains) and ‘Llygad y Dydd’ (from the Welsh for ‘Eye of the Day’).Also located in Georgia, the Arabia Mountain National Heritage Area’s Daisy Days hosts a full calendar of events including a triple hike challenge. National Daisy Day was founded to show appreciation for this flower that is more than just a pretty face! Yes, there are elements there especially in the Daisy Days books – Jack and Susie Morton are largely based on us. This festival has been a local attraction for more than fifty years and was even voted one of the top arts and crafts shows in the United States. This event encourages folks to get outdoors and hike the beautiful nature of Georgia at state parks and nature reserves.

Enjoying their retirement, now back on English soil after another six month stay in their second home in France, mayhem begins again for Susie and Jack Morton. While some gardeners may have originally considered daisies to be a weed, it’s obvious that this flower offers much to the environment in the way of beauty as well as health.Well worth a read by anybody who is an outdoors type and loves the freedom of the road likes to camp under the moon and stars!
