The daisy is a wildflower recognized by its white ray florets and yellow central disc. It typically blooms in spring. Its stem is not thick, and its leaves are slender and green. It has a mild fragrance and feels delicate to the touch.

The daisy is a sun-loving plant. It can spontaneously appear in fields, along roadsides, or on vacant land. It is not selective about soil type and therefore thrives easily in various regions.

Some daisy species are dried and used as herbal tea. They may also be included in skincare products such as soap, shampoo, or cream. However, not all daisies are the same. Only specific species are suitable for these purposes.
