Tuesday's Peninsula Breakfast Briefing
By Derek Davis
18th Apr 2023 | Local News
Tuesday's interesting fact...
The daisy is actually made up of two flowers. The center eye—or disc floret—is a collection of tiny florets, while the ray floret (the petals) radiate from the center, resembling the Sun. Because a daisy is made up of two flowers that work in perfect harmony, they have long been a symbol of true love. Stemming from Old English, daisy comes from "day's eye," referencing the daily habits of the English daisy, with its petals opening in the day and closing at night.
