French country decor names the Paris daisy as the flower most associated with the south of France — the Argyranthemum frutescens, the marguerite, the flower that covers Mediterranean hillsides in yellow and white and has been the emblem of simple French botanical beauty since before French country decor had a name. The Orange Yellow Paris Daisy is a handmade ceramic wall flower from the France Collection, kiln-fired in Toronto in an orange yellow glaze — the warm gold of Provence in late summer, the daisy color that reads as most specifically French.

The flower that named itself and a collection French Vogue chose to run

Chive interprets the French Vogue feature as an endorsement. The Paris daisy was named by European botanists because it was so associated with the Parisian botanical tradition — it is the French flower by botanical designation. In orange yellow from the France Collection, the Paris daisy is doubly named: by the botanists who gave it Paris, and by the glaze that gives it the color of the south of France in harvest season. French Vogue ran it. The New York Botanical Garden carries it. Both institutions found this combination appropriate.

The New York Botanical Garden carries the France Collection. The Chicago Botanic Garden stocks it. The Denver Botanic Gardens carries it. The RHS Chelsea Flower Show awarded Chive the 5-star booth award — the highest rating given — for 13 consecutive years. Botanical gardens that maintain marguerite collections have been making consistent purchasing decisions about this ceramic interpretation. Chive has been designing and making ceramic flowers in Toronto since 1999.
