The scent of the lily of the valley is considered by some to be one of the most attractive of all wildflowers.
The genus has about four hundred species that occur in temperate regions. Most species occur in moist and slightly shaded places. After flowering, the spent flower turns downwards, after ripening the seed box rises again and opens. The dried seed capsule is under tension and when moved, the seeds shoot away. Violets are also used as a base for many perfumes. It even makes candy. Young leaves are edible in boiled form and contain many vitamins. The flowers can be used to decorate meals. Flowers, leaves and roots are also used medicinally !!

Daisy is a feminine given name. The flower name comes from the Old English word dægeseage, meaning "day's eye". The name Daisy is therefore ultimately derived from this source. Daisy is also a nickname for Margaret, used because Marguerite, the French version of that name, is also a French name for the oxeye daisy !!
