DAISY – Innocence, Purity, True love

Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy. Bellis may come from Bellus, Latin for “pretty,” and perennis is Latin for “everlasting.”

The name “daisy” is considered a corruption of “day’s eye,” because the whole head closes at night and opens in the morning. The phrase “as fresh as a daisy” originated from this, signifying that someone had a good night’s rest.

Daisies symbolize innocence and purity. This stems from an old Celtic legend. According to the legend, whenever an infant died, God sprinkled daisies over the earth to cheer the parents up.

In Norse mythology, the Daisy is Freya’s sacred flower. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, and as such, the Daisy came by symbolize childbirth, motherhood, and new beginnings. Daisies are sometimes given to congratulate new mothers.

Daisy’s are composite flowers, meaning that they actually consist of two flowers combined into one. The inner section is called a disc floret, and the outer petal section is called a ray floret. Because daisies are composed of two flowers that blend together so well, they also symbolize true love.

The Daisy, and its meaning, also inspired renowned authors and poets throughout history. Shakespeare used a daisy chain in Hamlet to represent Ophelia’s innocence. Wordsworth also praised the Daisy in his famous poem “To The Daisy.”

They are also the April birth month flower. So if you know someone who has a birthday in April, these Daisy earrings would be a perfect gift. 🙂
