Daisies are flowers of the family, Compositae, which is now called Asteraceae. Members of the Asteraceae family are perennial flowering plants, native to the regions of north and central Europe. The name daisy originated from 'day's eye' and true to its name, the flower unfolds at dawn. The flowers can be distinguished by their large petals and a large conspicuous center. The blossoms can be white, pink and yellow to bright red and blue. Though a daisy is considered as a single flower, it is actually composed of two flowers. The central part of the flowers consists of short disk florets, while the ray florets that look like petals lie at the periphery. There are several varieties and types of daisies, out of which the most popular daisy flower types are explained below.
