Daisy Facts

A daisy flower catches the attention of all passers-by with its gorgeousness. Daisies are part of one of the world’s largest family of flowering plants and a daisy is actually a combination of several flowers coming together to form a united bunch of flowers.

This dense arrangement of small flowers is joined together at the stem and may be a part of another bigger structure of daisies. This coming together of many daisy flowers gives them a composite look because of which daisies are generically known as Composite.
