Daisies are nice and don't smell - they have a short stem and come is a variety of colors - Daisies are boring but they are not controversial...
...or are they?
Here is a picture of an English Daisy(*):

Young LaoWais from certain countries, when growing up, sometimes peel off the petals one by one while reciting a sequence of qualifying words to let the universe tell them if their girl/boy friend love them:
a little bit, a lot, passionately, crazily, not at all... the last petal deciding the fate of the emotion.
Chinese young people do not have daisies available for this purpose - so they go to Wall Mart, Mc Donalds, drink Coca Cola, smoke Marlboros, aspire to drive a BMW, want a Nokia cell phone, and iPod,
Adidas shoes, Polo shirts, Rolex watches, a Canadian or Australian passport, to live in the USA, spend Dollars, rewrite history so it looks like a daisy... Boring!
Boring is good - if people would pay more attention to daisies, the world would be a better place...
