Daisies

Two different jobs here. Small heads — daisies and chamomile — that fill the space between larger blooms, and gerbera with enough size to lead an arrangement on their own. Daisies are the hardest thing in this catalogue to get right, because a real petal is close to translucent and glows when a lamp sits behind it. These hold up against a wall rather than a window. The sprays are sold loose; the finished pieces need nothing doing to them.

Choosing well

What to look for in daisies

  • The centre

    A real disc is made of dozens of tiny florets, so it has texture and a slight irregularity to it. A smooth moulded dome is the giveaway, and it is the part of the flower the eye goes to first.

  • Petal thinness

    Daisy petals are close to translucent. Hold one up to a lamp — it should glow rather than block the light. This is the hardest thing to reproduce in the whole category, so it is worth checking.

  • Gerberas are a different job

    A gerbera is large enough to lead an arrangement rather than fill it. Judge it on head diameter and the number of petal rows, not on delicacy, and expect to use fewer of them.
