Aster· Purple Aster Daisy Asters look as much like daisies as daisy mums do. All asters have yellow centers like true daisies and have brightly colored petals surrounding the center. |

Bellis Perennis· English Daisy The English daisy, bellis perennis, is the only true daisy. The flower has white or off-white petals that burst outwards from a yellow center. The name comes from a combination of the words "day's eye," which refers to the fact that the flower closes every night and opens every daybreak. |

Chrysanthemum· Red Daisy Mum One type of chrysanthemum, the daisy mum, is often mistaken as a daisy, because it has rays of petals surrounding a yellow center. However, unlike the true daisy, these petals aren't always white, and have a wide variety of colors, from pinks to yellows to blues |
 |
Dahlia· Yellow Dahlia Daisy Dahlias are members of the Asteraceae family and are considered daisies, although they don't look like the traditional daisy. The blossoms have a star configuration, as the daisy does, but the petals are ruffled and flare upwards, and there is no classic daisy-like center. |
 |
Globe Thistle· Globe Thistle Globe thistles are another member of the Asteraceae family that are considered daisies, but look nothing like a daisy. The flower looks more like a ball or a puff of thin petals, instead of the typical star-shape with ray petals. |
