Happy April Fool's Day and a month of daisies

Daisy – the flower of April

But no fooling here. Some would say those born in April are blessed with two birth flowers. Both the daisy and the Sweet-pea are attributed to this spring month. However, their giving means different things.

The daisy conveys innocence, loyal love and purity. Between friends, the giving of a daisy means I will never tell our secret!
Sweetpeas indicate blissful pleasure, but are also given to say good-bye. In Nova Scotian gardens certainly we see the Sweetpea earlier than we see daisies, even the ornamental Shastas are summer flowers.

They are available as cut flowers at florists. For the pet lovers amongst us, daisies are a safe choice in houses with cats and dogs.
