Description
This is a beautiful bi-colour daisy of a strong purple, almost hot pink or fuchsia colouring. Each petal sports a broad white tip which nearly outlines the whole petal. These distinctive petals surround the typical yellow central disk. The Firmenish purple bicolor daisy is often used in flower bouquets.
It's name originates from the Anglo Saxon word meaning "day's eye" because it opens in the morning.
The middle of the flower is known as the central disk, which contains florets. The petals are called rays or ray florets and the leaves can be smooth or hairy, depending on the variety.
Some descriptive names for the daisy are moon flower, moon pennies, Mary's flower of God, Mary's Star, priest's collar and Saint John's flower.
In the language of herbs, a daisy represents innocence, simplicity, cheerfulness, sympathy and a newborn baby. In the spring, if a dreamer dreams of daisies, this symbolizes months of good luck. If a person sends daisies, it means "loyal love."
