This Daisy that I purchased had the label 'Schneehurken." The word Schnee is the German word for Snow.
The word hurken, in Dutch, means crouching, or squatting, or hunkering down.

I feel like it is a translation for a snow-white daisy that has petals that hunker down around the edges of the blossom.
