The Daisy has a special importance for us danes. It is an early spring flower and we call it a   'Marguerite'.

Because of that it became associated with our present queen, Queen Margrethe II.

She was born in 1940, the first year of the german occupation of our country, and she therefore became a symbol of everything danish, and a special 'Marguerite' broche was created, a daisy in gold and enamel

Wearing this broche became a common sign of protest against the germans, showing that we were danish and opposed to what they represented.

Our queens nickname is 'Daisy' for the same reason
