/ɡlɑbjəˈlɛriə/ noun

Definition

A genus of flowering plants with small globe-shaped flower heads, commonly called globe daisy.

Etymology

Kelly Says

These little flowers are like nature's perfect polka dots—each flower head is packed with hundreds of tiny flowers arranged in a mathematically perfect sphere!
