The daisies were in bloom last Sunday at Montreal's Technoparc and along Highway 50 between Montreal and Gatineau.
The English name comes from "dægesege, formerly dæges eage, meaning “day’s eye,” because the petals of some species of daisy open at dawn and close at dusk.
"For the same reason, in Medieval Latin, a common term for daisy was solis oculus, meaning “sun’s eye.”
They're cheerful, whatever they are called, which is a very good thing in these days of trial.
