Daisy flowers include not only the blooms most people are familiar with, but also popular health herbs such as echinacea and arnica, and many edible plants such as artichokes and endive. A daisy is a mix of two flowers called a disk floret and a white ray floret.
Introduction. The southeastern face of Mount Rushmore in South Dakotaâs Black Hills National Forest is the site of four gigantic carved sculptures depicting the faces of U.S. Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt.
Sculptor Gutzon Borglum began drilling into the 5,725-foot mountain in 1927, at the age of 60. Creation of the Shrine of Democracy took 14 years and cost a mere $1 million. Rushmore's granite faces tower 5,500 feet above sea level. The carvings on Mount Rushmore are scaled to men who would stand 465 feet tall. Each head on Mt. Rushmore is as tall as a six-story building. More that 800 million pounds of stone were removed from Mount Rushmore while carving the presidents.
