Also known as bruisewort or woundwoert, a daisy is a common wildflower which is an ingredient in various potions and shrinking solutions.

Daisies are associated with Venus and the element Water.

(*bruisewort大概也可以翻译为瘀伤草,woundwoert也类似,在此觉得译成中文有失原意所以保留英文,在一些参考资料中,bruisewort是拆成两个词的,即bruise wort)
The name ‘daisy’, in general, comes from ‘day’s eye’ because the flower closes at night. Moon daisy and dog daisy are more authentic names for oxeye daisy, says Geoffrey Grigson, and that “oxeye daisy, began as a book name in the sixteenth century, because this plant appeared to be the bouthalmon of Dioscorides”.
雏菊通常被认为是杂草,因为它们在恶劣的条件下茁壮成长,并且可以抵抗虫子甚至神奇的杀虫剂。
