The daisy is a symbol of simplicity. It's message is one of innocence, purity and gentleness. A white daisy continues to represent affection, especially affection shown to others.
By the late fifteenth century the daisy symbolized the innocence of Jesus, the "Christ-Child". Since the daisy was the lesser exotic and pretentious of the flowers it seemed to be a fitting symbol for the baby Jesus. Since that time, daisies have been associated with children and the innocence of childhood.
So, a Daisy represents purity, innocence, affection, and gentleness. Doesn't this sound like what God described in Galatians 5:22-23, as the Fruit of the Spirit?
The fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control and against such things there is no law.
These are the ways of a servant and this is what we should strive to be.
