The daisy
The daisy is the flower with the least agenda. It does not mean love, it does not mean mourning, it means something closer to “I am glad you exist” — and that is a useful thing to be able to send.
Add this flower to a bouquetWhat it means
- Cheer, simplicity and innocent affection.
- Traditionally associated with loyalty in love, but in practice people send daisies for friendship far more often.
- It is the flower that lightens whatever it is paired with, which makes it a good addition to a heavier stem.
What to write with it
Daisies give you permission to be brief. “Thinking of you” is a complete daisy message.
If you are sending to someone going through something hard, pair a daisy with a lily so the bouquet does not read as too bright.
