Here are some fun facts about these happy spring blooms:

* There are over 23,000 species of daisies, and along with all their relatives, they make up 10% of the world’s flowering plants.

* Each daisy is actually a composite flower, meaning that it is made up of many small flowers that appear to be a single bloom. Ray florets surround the center and are most often considered petals; while the center florets are tiny and tubular.

* The daisy’s strangest relative may be the artichoke, but that odd connection is not as far off as it seems. The daisy is also completely edible, from its leaves to stems to flowers. They are an excellent source of Vitamin C and are often seen in soups and salads.

* Daisies also have medicinal qualities, used globally to heal wounds, calm coughing, and ease digestion.
