The daisy, up close
The daisy opens a flat, open face of white petals around a yellow center and turns it to follow the sun across the day, closing again as the light goes.
On the card inside: “Your cheerfulness has an effortless magnetism. Like daisies that turn toward sun, there's something innocent yet powerful in your joy—simple, open, impossible not to notice.”
