EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting photograph, the vibrant Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, commonly known as the oxeye daisy, takes center stage in the Wildlife Garden at the Natural History Museum in London. The oxeye daisy is a beloved member of the Asteraceae, or composite, family, and is distinguished by its distinctive white petals surrounding a yellow disk, creating an eye-catching pattern reminiscent of a daisy's classic "face." The oxeye daisy is a popular sight in meadows and grasslands throughout Europe and North America, and is particularly cherished by pollinators such as butterflies and bees. In this image, several butterflies can be seen gracefully flitting among the flowers, their delicate wings absorbing the rich colors of the day. The oxeye daisy's nectar-rich blooms provide essential nourishment for these important insects, making it an indispensable component of the garden's ecosystem. The oxeye daisy is a eudicot, or advanced dicotyledon, belonging to the order Asterales. Its scientific name, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, reflects its membership in the Chrysanthemum genus and its white, leuc- prefix signifying "white," anthemum meaning "flower," and -um denoting species. This beautiful flowering plant, with its striking colors and vital role in the natural world, is a testament to the intricate and interconnected web of life that surrounds us. Derek Adams, the talented photographer behind this image, expertly captures the essence of the oxeye daisy in its natural habitat, highlighting the harmony between the flower and the diverse array of arthropods that call it home. The warm daytime light bathes the scene in a golden glow, bringing out the rich colors and textures of the oxeye daisy and its inhabitants. This photograph is a celebration of the beauty and complexity of the natural world, inviting us to appreciate the delicate balance between plants and animals and the essential role each plays in the larger ecosystem.
