daisy (flower)
Daisy and aster are blanket names for many similar looking flowers in the expansive Asteraceae family. Asters are practically indistinguishable from daisies for tagging purposes.
Daisies and asters typically have a spiky-looking head made up of tiny disc florets surrounded by a multitude of long petals. Gerber daisies will also have an inner ring of ray florets around the center head.
Common daisy colors include white petals with a yellow or orange center and yellow petals with a dark brown center, but daisies & asters can come in practically any color.
For tagging purposes, limit this tag to flowers that look generally like a Common Daisy, a Black-Eyed Susan, a Gerber Daisy, asters, or any color variation on that basic design.
