Daisy Carpet In The Flowerbed.

These are bigger than lawn daisies but smaller than the Michaelmas variety. Known as Day's eye, an Anglo-Saxon name which morphed into daisy and also called God's smile, the daisy was said to have sprung from the tears of Mary Magdalene. Used in fair weather spells or rites to honour the sun. Associated with Venus. Lovers would pluck the petals and chant he/she loves me, loves me not. Medieval knights wore daisy chains made by their ladies when they rode into battle or tournaments, as a sign of their affection and defence of their ladies honour.
