For this contest I was reminded of photographs I took in the spring of 2020, when the Covid situation in my country (Italy) was quite complicated.

I remember noticing several daisies that had bloomed in my garden, and I photographed them. While I was photographing mine it occurred to me that I had lenses to attach to the phone that acted as macro lenses. For the photos I used an IPhone 5S with Blips macro lenses, from SmartMicroOptics

In ancient Rome, surgeons impregnated the bandages used to treat cut wounds with daisy juice.

Giving daisies meant praising the virtues of the person to whom the daisies were given. It was like recognizing in the person as many virtues as there were petals of each of these flowers.

In the language of flowers, the daisy has several positive meanings connected with the concept of 'truth'.

The origin of the daisy dates back to more than four thousand years ago. Artifacts of ancient pottery decorated with daisies have been found in Egypt and the Middle East.

The name seems to derive from the Anglo-Saxons: 'daisy', which derived from 'day's eye' and meant 'eye of the day'.
