When someone refers to a "daisy", chances are this is the plant they have in mind. The English Daisy is the archetypal daisy. It's native to much of Europe, and can become rather invasive in North America. The name "daisy" is actually a corruption of the term "day's eye". The reasoning behind this is because the floral head of the English Daisy appears to blink as it closes at night and opens during the day. These plants are also known to have astringent properties.
