In Victorian gardens, grand flowerbeds were often edged with the variegated daisy, while others were found in cottage gardens by the path edge. The common daisy is a native of Britain, beloved by poets including, Burns, Shelley and Wordsworth. An old English tradition was that summer had come when you could set foot on seven daisies all at once. Symbolic of the sun and also considered as good omens for fortune telling. Although to follow another old custom and recite Love's me, Loves me not, while counting the petals will mostly result in confirmation, as nine out of 10 daisies have an odd number of petals.
