Daisy Earrings

Daisies are found all over the world, on every continent other than Antarctica.

As they are so widespread, daises tend to vary in their appearance with the most familiar type referred to as the 'Common Daisy' found in western and central Europe.

It is believed that daisies got their name from the Old English meaning of the 'day's eye' due to their cycle of opening at dawn and closing at sunset.

Australia is home to the gorgeous Rhodanthe manglesii, or 'pink sunray' daisy.

In Asia and some parts of Europe, the ox-eye daisy can be found. It looks very similar to a common daisy but is much bigger and has fewer yet longer petals.

Ultimately, daisies represent joy and innocence. Throughout life, these flowers are often associated with pure acts of love. For example, at weddings, daisies are typically the go-to choice for flower girls to scatter.

In Victorian times, daises were believed to mean you could keep a secret. Gifting someone a daisy bouquet would reassure them that their secret was safe with you.

As we jump back further into history, the daisy was a symbol of birth and was associated with the Goddess of Fertility and love, Freya. This, in turn, perhaps influences the connection with new beginnings the daisy has today.

The most common daisy has white petals and a yellow middle, which represent purity and are often seen at weddings and child christenings.

Yellow daises are the epitome of joy as they radiate like the sun with beautiful orange petals. They are a sign of positivity and are a great gift for family and friends.

Orange daises look similar to yellow ones, except their colour is much richer and carries a slightly different meaning. Instead of positivity, orange daises are associated with vigorous energy, perhaps due to their unwavering burst of colour.

As well as unbashful joy, daisies have another depth to them. Blue daisies, in particular, symbolise mystery and a sense of magic, so much so that it's easy to believe they are from another world.

Finally, if you have someone special in your life who needs some hope, give them a purple daisy. They represent admiration and are perfect for graduations or as a get-well-soon gift.

Similar to how we still do today, in Celtic Mythology, daisies symbolised the sun and, in particular, the summer solstice and would bring the sun's light down to earth.

Therefore, these flowers were associated with good luck and were believed to bring prosperity. Celts also believed that daisies would protect and bring good luck to babies.

Nowadays, daisies are more seen as symbols of innocence and new beginnings but are still popular gifts, especially at births and weddings. It can be said that these flowers wish people good luck as they enter their new chapter of life.
