Crown daisy, on its other name, is a leaf vegetable in the genus Chrysanthemum, native to the Mediterranean and East Asia.
The plant is not just rich in minerals but it contains various antioxidants in its stem, leaf and root tissues.
This popular green vegetable is also known as Chop Suey Greens or shungiku in Japan. It is widely used in soups and stir fry dishes or added to green salads in China, Korea and Vietnam, as well.

A beautiful and useful plant.
Hello and thank you so much for getting back to me. I'll be sure to link up when your linky is ready :-) thank you too for the encouragement. I don't know a lot of names of flowers so from time to time I hope people can help me identify them.
