Michaelmas Daisies
Historic-uk.com states that in British folklore, the Michaelmas Daisy, which flowers in the growing season between late August and early October, provides colour and warmth to gardens at a time when the majority of flowers are coming to an end. As suggested by the saying below, this daisy fights against the advancing gloom of autumn and winter.
If ducks do slide at Michaelmas
At Christmas they will swim
