Flower Head:
* Ray florets: These are the "petals" of the daisy, often white, but can be yellow, pink, or other colors. They are actually individual flowers, arranged in a circle around the center.
* Disc florets: These are the small, yellow flowers in the center of the daisy. They are often clustered densely together and have a tubular shape.
* Receptacle: This is the flat, green base on which the florets are attached.
Stem:
* Green, often hairy: Daisies typically have a green stem, which is often covered in fine hairs.
* Solid: The stem is usually solid, not hollow.
* Variable height: The stem can be short or tall depending on the daisy variety and growing conditions.
Leaves:
* Simple and oval-shaped: Daisy leaves are typically simple, meaning they do not have leaflets.
* Alternating arrangement: Leaves grow alternately along the stem.
* Usually toothed or lobed: The edges of the leaves can be toothed or lobed, creating a slightly serrated appearance.
Other Features:
* Aromatic: Some daisy varieties have a pleasant, sweet fragrance.
* Perennial or annual: Daisies can be perennial (living for multiple years) or annual (living for a single year).
Note: These are general features of the daisy. There is a wide variety of daisy species, so individual characteristics can vary.
