Common daisy, hyper-real-ish. A Potterton garden, Aberdeenshire, Scotland

200 shot focus stack at 35 mm. Not perfect since the air is rarely totally still in Aberdeenshire but promising.

Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy of the family Asteraceae often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related plants also share the name "daisy" so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy lawn daisy or English daisy. Historically it has also been commonly known as bruisewort and occasionally woundwort (although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with Stachys). Bellis perennis is native to western central and northern Europe including remote islands such as the Faroe Islands but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia. It is a perennial herbaceous plant with short creeping rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are from 3/4 to 2 inches (approx. 2–5 cm) long and grow flat to the ground. The species habitually colonises lawns and is difficult to eradicate by mowing – hence the term 'lawn daisy'. Wherever it appears it is sometimes considered an invasive weed. It exhibits the phenomenon of heliotropism where the flowers follow the position of the sun in the sky. The flowerheads are composite in the form of a pseudanthium consisting of many sessile flowers about 3/4 to 1-1/4 in (approx. 2–3 cm) in diameter with white ray florets (often tipped red) and yellow disc florets. Each inflorescence is borne on single leafless stems 3/4 – 4 in (approx. 2–10 cm) rarely 6 in (approx. 15 cm) tall. The capitulum or disc of florets is surrounded by two rows of green bracts known as "phyllaries". The achenes are without pappus. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellis_perennis
