Probably one of the few flowers known to everyone, these attractive weeds have rich yellow disc flowers and white ray flowers or "petals" that form a flower head 1 1/2 inches or more across. Like some other introductions, Daisies are thoroughly naturalized in fields, pastures, in waste places, and along roadsides throughout North Carolina and much of the U.S. April - July [Justice, William S. and Bell, C.
