Bellis perennis is a common European species of daisy, of the Asteraceae
family, often considered the archetypal species of that name. Many related
plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species
from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy
or English daisy. Historically,
it has also been commonly known as bruisewort
and occasionally woundwort
(although the common name woundwort is now more closely associated with Stachys). Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern
Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas and Australasia. Source
A bench is a
piece of furniture, on which several people may sit at the same time. Benches
are typically made of wood, but may also be made of metal, stone, or synthetic materials.
Many benches have arm and back rests; some have no back rest and can be sat on
from either side. In American public areas, benches are often donated by
persons or associations, which may then be indicated on it, e.g. by a small plaque.
Benches are used both outdoors and indoors. Aluminum benches are often found in
outdoor, sideline settings at recreational venues like sports fields or courts
and as a compliment to bleacher systems. The material affords for a
lightweight, corrosive-free bench, so it is a portable and economical option
for indoor or outdoor settings. Source
