The daisy is a symbol of childhood innocence, and its simplicity has made it a favorite of many poets. The daisy is said to have originated from a Dryad who once presided over forests, meadows, and wild, overgrown pastures. An ancient Roman myth tells us that the beautiful nymph, Belides, caught the eye of Vertumnus, the god of the orchards as she danced with her sisters at the edge of a forest. To escape his unwanted attention, she permanently transformed herself into a daisy.
