Sun Burnt Gerbera Daisy
“He looked like an Italian, was dressed like an Englishman, and had the independent air of an American-a combination which caused sundry pairs of feminine eyes to look approvingly after him, and sundry dandies in black velvet suits, with rose-colored neckties, buff gloves, and orange flowers in their buttonholes, to shrug their shoulders, and then envy him his inches.” Louisa May Alcott

Withered Daisy
“Even thou who mournst the daisy’s fate, That fate is thine-no distant date; Stern Ruin’s ploughshare drives, elate, Full on thy bloom, Till crushed beneath the furrow’s weight Shall be thy doom!” Robert Burns

Fair Maiden
“For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. “When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely as a lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe, a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?” - J.R.R. Tolkien quotes

The Wonderful World of Lavender
“There’s flowers for you;
Hot lavender, mints, savory, marjoram;
The marigold, that goes to bed wi’ the sun,
And with him rises weeping; thes are flower
Of middle summer, and I thek they are given
To men of middle age.” William Shakespeare The Winter’s Tale
