Daisy (7) low key.
Common daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare, synonym: Chrysanthemum leucanthemum) is a perennial plant in the composite family (Asteraceae). The main flowering period falls around June. The plant has a flower head with a yellow centre consisting of tubular flowers, which is wreathed by white ray flowers. The stems are usually not or little branched. The rhizome is usually stocky and branched. The number of dark green leaves is variable.
The common daisy is characteristic of grasslands that are mowed, such as roadsides and hayfields. The daisy often germinates in temporarily open spots in the grassland, such as molehills. At the time, Queen Wilhelmina left the lawns at Het Loo Palace uncut until June, allowing the daisies to flower. After that, these areas were managed as lawns again. Indeed, the daisy appears to thrive in these hay lawns. Where it grows on sandy soils, the soil is often mixed with loam or another fine-grained type of soil. On clay, it is an indicator of lesser nutrient richness.
The name daisy comes from the Ancient Greek margarites, which in turn comes from Babylonian and means pearl. Another Dutch name used for daisy in earlier times is ganzebloem, which today is used for a different species.
