Description

Argyranthemum frutescens Common name: Marguerite Daisy Day's eye. That was the Old English name, because the petals close at night and open with the sun. A daisy is actually two flowers fused together, composite, which is strange for something that looks so plain. Freya chose this as her sacred flower. Out of everything available to a goddess of love and fertility, she went with the most ordinary bloom in the whole meadow. Belides turned herself into one to hide from a god who kept pursuing her. Became common on purpose. That might be one of the most radical things in any mythology, and people barely bring it up. The Celts believed God scattered daisies to comfort parents who lost their children. Victorians handed them over to say your secret stays with me. Two completely different meanings from two different centuries, both kinds of true at the same time. And every morning they open again like nothing happened. Same flower, same thing, no fuss about it. © Corina Daniela Obertas Photography. All rights reserved. The purchase of this NFT grants the collector ownership of the token only.
