daisy
White-petaled field flower
A daisy is a flower with white petals radiating from a yellow center, common in lawns and meadows.
The word extends to similar flowers in the composite family.
Something described as daisy suggests freshness or innocence: fresh as a daisy.
To push up daisies is to be dead and buried.
As slang, a daisy is something excellent of its kind: That car's a real daisy. (Capitalized Daisy is a given name.)
