Daisy Traditional Cache

Daisies at the edge of the woods below the Equstrian Center. I got there on a woods trail from the Rec trail between Mitchell Str. and Honness Lane. Turn right when you get here:

Leucanthemum vulgare, the ox-eye daisy,^[2] or oxeye daisy,^[3] is a widespread flowering plant native to Europe and the temperate regions of Asia and an introduced plant to North America, Australia and New Zealand. 

Leucanthemum vulgare became an introduced species via gardens into natural areas in parts of Canada,^[2] the United States, Australia, and New Zealand, where it is now a common weed.^[9] In some habitats it is an invasive species forming dense colonies displacing native plants and modifying existing communities, and is classified as a noxious weed.^[4][10][11]

It is difficult to control or eradicate, since a new plant can regenerate from rhizome fragments^[4] and is a problem in pastures where beef and dairy cattle graze, as usually they will not eat it, thus enabling it to spread.^[12]

Ox-eye daisy is a host for several viral diseases affecting crops.

Daisy has composite flower that consists of large number of small flowers, called florets. Ray florets form outer part of the flower and they look like typical petals. Disk florets are located at the center of the flower; they are small and have tubular shape.

Name "daisy" originates from Anglo Saxon word "daes eage" which means "day's eyes". Daisy opens the flower at dawn and closes it at night (hence the name).

Daisy is rich source of vitamin C. It has pleasant taste and it can be used as a part of salads, soups and sandwiches. Both flowers and leaves are edible.

Juice extracted from daisies was used for wound healing in ancient Rome.

Daisy is used in homeopathy to accelerate healing after surgical procedures and to alleviate back ache. It is also used to treat injuries in animals.

Daisy is used in folk medicine (usually in the form of tea) to relieve cough, to improve digestion and to slow bleeding.

Daisy is a symbol of purity and innocence.

Daisy is biennial plant which means that its life cycle ends after two years.

The cache is a tied in, camoed big,"micro" pill bottle with a Push and Turn lid. BYOP and keep the rubber band, that's around the log, on your finger while you log. That way you'll know where it is, when you have rolled the log back up and you need it to hold it together. After that, it will fit easily in the tiny plastic zip lock bag and later in the cache. No tweezers, please, they kill the plastic.

Long pants recommended!
