Daisies
The Daisy family (Asteraceae (was Compositae)) is also known as
the Aster family or Sunflower family. It's a huge family
and vies with orchids for title as the largest flowering plant family, but
Daisies are far more important as food. Orchids provide vanilla beans, and
that's all, while Daisies provide summer greens, cooking oils, edible roots
and both edible and decorative flowers.
