According to Greek mythology, the flower goddess Chloris finds a dead nymph in the woods and immediately turns it into a flower. Aphrodite, the goddess of love, gives beauty to the flower transformed from this fairy, while Dionysus puts an aroma to smell beautiful and pleasant. Zephirus, the god of the western wind, distributes the clouds from the sky, this beautiful flower is born with the shining of the sun god Apollo, and blooms until all the leaves are fully opened. A flower that turns from a dead nymph into the “Queen of flowers” is “rose”.

In Norse mythology, the daisy is Freya’s sacred flower. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, and as such the daisy came by symbolizing childbirth, motherhood and new beginnings. Daisies are sometimes given to congratulate new mothers.

They also mean chastity and transformation because of the Roman myth of Vertumnus and Belides. Vertumnus, god of seasons and gardens, became enamored with Belides, a nymph. He continuously pursued her, and in order to escape his affections she turned herself into a daisy. Daisy’s scientific name Bellis, stems from this story.
