Counting Daisy Folk Lore Petals Superstition Told
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this charming black-and-white photograph from the early 20th century, a young boy gazes intently at a daisy in a sun-dappled meadow. The simple beauty of the scene is heightened by the innocence and wonder in the boy's expression, as he leans forward to examine the delicate petals of the flower. Daisies have long held a special place in folklore and superstition, particularly when it comes to matters of the heart. According to an old English legend, the number of petals a daisy has when picked and their arrangement can reveal the answer to the question "Does she love me?" The boy in the photograph seems to be putting this age-old belief to the test, as he carefully counts the petals of the daisy in his hand. If the flower has 26 petals, the legend goes, it means the object of his affection returns his feelings. If there are fewer, he may be out of luck. This historical image captures a moment of innocence and hope, as the boy seeks answers in the natural world around him. The simple beauty of the daisy meadow, bathed in sunlight, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of nature and the timeless human desire for love and connection. The early 20th century was a period of great change and upheaval, but in this photograph, we are transported back to a simpler time, when the world seemed a little more magical and the answers to life's biggest questions could be found in the petals of a daisy.
