Weeds and wildflowers: dandelions, nettles, daisies, clover and plantain, sentence 10

A daisy is not one flower but hundreds of tiny flowers packed together; its name comes from «day's eye» because it opens in the day, and it grows low so mowers miss it.

Who acts: daisy, name, mowers · What happens: not be, pack, come, open, grow, miss · To what, where: one flower, tiny flowers, eye, name
