If you were born in April, your birth flower is daisy. Daisies open with the sun and close at dark, which is how they get their common name: “Day’s eye.”

Many people think that all daisies are Chrysanthemums, but that’s not true. The genus was split into several genera about a decade ago and include Chrysanthemum, Dendranthemum and Leucanthemum.
