A DISCOVERY WORTH SHARING

A daisy’s name hides a “day’s eye.”

“Daisy” developed from an Old English expression meaning “day’s eye.” The flower’s everyday name preserves a miniature image of an eye looking out at the day.

Why it’s interesting

The connection is in the word itself; you don’t need a story about a particular daisy to find it.
