April Birth Flower - Daisy

Daisy flower meaning is mostly a matter of temperament: sunny, then raining, then sunny again, and finding all of it interesting rather than exhausting. This orange yellow daisy doesn't consider the forecast inconsistent — it considers it eventful, which is what optimists call the weather that would finish off anyone else. Two dozen narrow petals fan out from a raised center disc, each one individually shaped so the piece never reads as stamped from a mold. Chive's artisans shape every petal by hand, then glaze the piece in a warm enough yellow to survive an actual grey April, mounted flat regardless of what's happening outside the window. Chicago Botanic Garden has spent decades studying which flowers hold their color through unreliable spring weather, and the daisy sits near the top of that list. This one keeps its color no matter what April decides to do. Chive has believed in easy optimism since 2004.
