Lady's Eye. Bellis perennis, Lawn Daisy, Our Garden, Venlo, The Netherlands

Great Geoffrey Chaucer (ca. 1343-1400) especially liked what he knew as Dame's or Lady's Eye calling it the Empress of Flowers (www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/8444022109/in/photolis...). And the Latin specific 'perennis' refers to Lawn Daisy's constant flowering throughout the year, even in the darkest, chilliest and wettest of Seasons such as this Christmas. Here it is naturally bejeweled in Our Lawn.
