Around our home daisies show their pretty faces during winter. This year the flowers were not so full but still beautiful. We noticed that the white Daisy’s petals stay open for longer at sunset than the yellow daisy. Do they have to stay open longer to take in more sunlight? What could be the reason? I googled, but couldn’t find anything near an explanation.
Do you perhaps know why? Let me know!
On the website Fresh Trimmings I read an interesting article, “8 Things You Didn’t Know About Daisies. They Enjoy a Full Night of Shut-eye. […] Sure they may not be technically sleeping, but they do close their petals over their eyes until the sun rises back up in the morning. […] And that strange quirk is also how daisies got their name. In Old English, they were called “daes eag,” which directly translates to day’s eye, in reference to their eye staying open during the day, and shutting during the night.”

Apparently daisies are currently the fifth most popular flower in the world.
I am fortunate to stay in the middle of these simple but beautiful flowers.
Daisy, flower season is over, but next year I’ll see you again.
