The one of a few flowers I have currently is a daisy (Bellis Perennius). Not the Oxeye variety, as those are too big. This is the common daisy, the kind you may find in grassy areas and grows very small, and has small (about 1/3 to 1/2 inch) flowers that look like the oxeye ones. To the Oxeye variety these are a 'mini-me' daisy as the Oxeye's flowers can be up to 2 inches in diameter. However, compared to the garden's Gerbra daisy, this is a pipsqueak daisy, and Gerbra daisy comes in colors, Oxeye and this one do not. Here is two pictures of a common daisy to show what I have is it.

You see they look the same. I searched up common daisy and mostly these came up. However in quite a few pictures there was oxeyes, and I am not surprised as those in the wild are almost as common, but they bloom in June or July, these bloom probably about April-sometime in June, but occasionally flowers pop up in July, maybe as early as late June, into fall/autumn. This flower is pretty, but when I smell daisies and they have a somewhat half-pleasant half-unpleasant odor/fragrance. The Oxeye variety smells much worse, so I don't know how the bees are attracted to those and not the flies only like some plants. This is pretty good and healthy in my terrarium and as you see in my picture. You can see another plant (purslane, a wild edible that is mostly made up of water like celery and even things that aren't plants, including us, so if you find some of this in the wild it is good survival food, as it quenches thirst and hunger, and we'll get to that later on) in there but we'll get to it later on.
