10/10 The roots, too, have a penetrating pungency, containing some tannic acid, and there was once a popular superstition (to which Bacon refers) that if they be boiled in milk and the liquid given to puppies, the animals will grow no bigger.
In Scotland it is the 'Bairn-wort,' (Bairn a Scottish word for child) testifying to the joy of children in gathering it for daisy-chains.

9/10 There is a saying that spring has not arrived until you can cover three, or nine, or a dozen daisy flowers with your foot. If there is some disagreement about the requisite number, it is because there is scarcely a day in the year (except during freezing weather) when there are not hundrteds of daisys on the ground.

8/10 Symbolism in Modern Times
 Generally speaking, daisies indicate innocence, purity, and gentleness on behalf of both the giver and the receiver. "You have as many virtues as this plant has petals," or, "I will consider your request."A white daisy represents shared feelings of affection.  A red one tells of beauty unknown to the possessor. Not sure about pink!

7/10.A well-known practice originated with heartbroken Victorian maids who wished to be loved once again by their suitors. A maid would pluck a daisy's petals one by one, chanting, "He loves me, he loves me not," . Of course, it was the last petal that predicted the situation's outcome.   A maiden would also grasp a handful of daisies with her eyes closed. The number of blossoms left in her hand were the number of years that remained until she married.

Symbolism in Medieval Times
 5/10 While its modest simplicity made the daisy a favorite flower of many poets, its healing and predictive powers made it popular not only with farmers, but also with kings. Spring, medieval farmers would say, would not arrive until one could set a foot upon twelve daisies.To dream of daisies in springtime or summer was a lucky omen, but dreams of them in fall or winter meant certain doom.

 4/10 Primarily known as the symbol of childhood innocence.  This charming wildflower is said to originate from a Dryad (oak dwelling nymph) who presided over forests, meadows, and pastures. According to Roman legend, the nymph Belides, as she danced with the other nymphs at the edge of the forest, caught the eye of Vertumnus, the god of the orchards. To escape his unwanted attention, she transformed herself into the flower belliis.

3/10  The daisy derived it's English name from the Anglo-Saxon terms daes eage.  Meaning "the days' eye" - referring to the way the flower opens and closes with the sun.Bellis may come from bellus, Latin for "pretty", and perennis is Latin for "everlasting".
Geoffrey Chaucer. called it "eye of the day". In medieval times, Bellis perennis or the English Daisy was commonly known as "Mary's Rose".

 2/10 “Ubiquitous, yet humble, common daisy is one of the first flowers we can name when, as youngsters, we are taught to make daisy chains! When a bit older we pull the petals off one by one saying "(S)he loves me, (s)he loves me not" The common daisy flowers from March to October on short grazed (or mown) turf everywhere and they are so familiar we take them for granted but when looked at close up they are attractive little flower”

This amazing (see what we did there?) cover art is by Edward Valigursky, who had a long history of creating covers for pulp-fiction magazines. In fact, we’ve featured some of his art before — the cover for Amazing Science Fiction Stories from October of 1958.
