What is a Daisy called in Japanese?

And if anyone knows a great website to find other flower's name, that'd be great too.

雛菊 (ひなぎく) You might want to check out Jim Breen's awesome online dictionary if you're looking up other words. It's pretty thorough:

Does "Deiji" have the same meaning or is that something different? Because that's what an English to Japanese dictionary tells me as well.

And thanks for the replies :)
