Daisies stand for innocence, cheerfulness and clean slates; sweet peas for blissful pleasure, gratitude and fond farewells. Together they read like April sunshine in flower form.

April-born people tend to be refreshingly genuine, with an easy warmth that puts others at ease. They are optimistic without being naive, and they chase new experiences while staying true to the people they love.
The word daisy comes from the Old English 'day's eye', because the flower opens with the sun and closes at dusk. Sweet peas reached European gardens after a Sicilian monk, Francesco Cupani, sent seeds to England in the 1690s — by the Edwardian era they were the most fashionable flower in Britain.
Daisies are the perfect no-pressure flower — a small bunch says 'thinking of you' without saying too much. Fragrant sweet peas shine as a thank-you or a warm send-off gift.
