    The Daisy:-
    It is said that Mary, while working at her spinning-wheel one dayout in a meadow in which were heaps of daisies, pricked her finger and that the blood-drop fell on the white and golden daisy at her feet. Since the, the legend says daisies are white, gold and red.

    Tradition tells us that when the Apostles opened the tomb of our Lady for St. Thomas to see her, it was filled with tall white liles and beautifaul crimson roses - emblems of her purity and love.
