Daisy

a deepening acquaintance, a fair-weather friendship (affectionate), an abundant summer season, cooperation, goodwill, athletic competition, to be a good sport, simple joys, optimism, equality, "No man is an island ... If a clod be washed away by the sea, the main continent is the less for it"—"any one's death diminishes me because I am involved in humankind"—"All for one and one for All" (if crafted into a daisy chain)

Language of Flowers: Oxeye Daisy

Every flower has its day in the language of flowers. Today, October 29, that flower is Oxeye Daisy, which signifies patience. Image above from Wikipedia. In Norse mythology, the daisy is Freya’s sacred flower. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, and as such the daisy came to symbolize childbirth, motherhood, and new beginnings. Marguerite, the French word for “daisy,” is…

Hot And Dry Wildflower Walk, 6-4-23

Leucanthemum vulgare (Oxeye Daisy) on 6-4-23, #943-60. Hello, everyone! I hope this post finds you well. I decided to go for a wildflower walk on Sunday afternoon even though it was bright and sunny and the temperature was already almost 90° F. There was a nice breeze, so it wasn’t so bad. We haven’t had much rain and it seems many of the wildflowers I usually see are non-existent. Only the…

"The flower of love, love, the flower of love. The daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) is actually not a flower but an inflorescence, which means that each petal is a flower!"🌹

if daisy were to take a clan name, is there a clanmew word for an actual daisy she could switch to? i know the cats couldn't actually make the connection that the human word = a type of flower, but i'm interested to know if daisy has an equivalent!

There's actually a whole bunch she could have picked from!! She very specifically chose to keep her Seamew name.

In Clanmew, "Daisy" even has a generic term. White flowers with a yellow button are called Osma. There are SEVEN major types of daisies that Clan cats encounter on a regular basis, and usually, only Clerics can reliably tell them all apart.

Most cats in a Clan will just be familiar with their uses.

Lawn Daisy (Bellis perennis) = Os'hap This is the most common daisy, a widespread flower that closes up at night.

Moon Penny (Leucanthemum vulgare) = Rashma Also called an "ox-eye daisy," or "invasive bastard weed" in American English, Clan cats HATE this plant because it makes animals that eat it taste funny. It's also FULL of pollen and very hard to get rid of in a meadow, giving some cats allergic reactions. Its name comes from Sneeze + Daisy.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) = Hakma It is said that when StarClan saw the Clans beginning to hate daisies because of the noxious Moon Penny, they devised a plan to create a daisy that would be just as beloved as it was hated. Feverfew, the helpful herb used for treating illness, was one of their gifts.

Pellitory (Achillea ptarmica) = Waso Their other idea was pellitory, which tastes weird, and ShadowClan loved it immediately. It has a sort of minty, numbing, hard-to-describe taste (ever had szechuan pepper? it's like that) which means that it goes RIGHT into the soup when it's found. Pellitory My Beloved.

Mayweed (Tripleurospermum inodorum) = Bleshma "Waste Daisy." Has no particular use or nice smell. Used mostly by Clerics as a word to distinguish daisies that have no use in medicine, but it's the word that sticks when a Cleric assistant (like Brightheart) is describing various daisies to other cats.

Chamomile (Matricaria chamomilla) = Gomgon A VERY high-strength herb, which is eventually discovered to be a very important way to treat severe epilepsy. Toxic to cats otherwise, and can be used as a poison by a skilled Cleric.

Shaggy Soldier (Galinsoga quadriradiata) = Flosk An odd daisy with dozens of tiny flowers where its button should be. Remarked to look like a honeycomb.
