Hi backers! We have nine days left in our campaign, so we wanted to spend some time focusing on the beautiful, individual flowers we have in the game!
First up, the Daisy.
Two Flowers in One: A daisy might look like a single blossom, but it is actually a composite of two flowers in one. The long outer petals are known as "ray flowers," while the dense yellow center is made up of clusters of tiny "disc flowers".
They Go to Sleep: Daisies got their name from the Old English phrase "daes eage," which means "day's eye". In response to the setting sun, daisies close their petals to protect the center of the flower and reopen them at dawn.
A Symbol of Love and Purity: With their bright colors and fresh appearance, daisies have long symbolized innocence, purity, and true love. They are also famously associated with games of divination, like pulling off the petals to play "he loves me, he loves me not." Bee Favorites: Because they grow in a perfectly flat shape, daisies provide an ideal, sturdy landing pad for bees. Their unique structure allows pollinators to easily gather vast amounts of nectar and pollen in a single visit.
