		Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in Brighton, East Sussex, England on February 5, 1908 to a young, unwed barmaid, Kate Skinner.
		Daisy and Violet were later taken on an Australian tour with Mary Hilton, her husband Henry, and their daughter Edith.
		Daisy died first and forensic evidence suggested that Violet lived for two to four days afterwards, although this is highly questionable since the twins shared circulation and she would have bled to death much sooner.

	Gerbera aurantiaca
		A close relative of the Hilton daisy is the well-known Barberton daisy, (Gerbera jamesonii), which is one of the parents of the popular Gerbera hybrids used extensively in the cut flower and nursery trade.
		The programme is combining a study of the population biology of the Hilton daisy in the wild, together with the establishment of ex situ populations from the major localities, and the selection and propagation of some of the most attractive varieties for horticulture.
		The pollinator of the Hilton daisy is thought to be the brown hairy monkey beetle which feeds on the pollen, and probably uses the flowers as rendevous platforms for mating.

		Today the phrase instantly conjures up grotesque images of Paris and Nicky Hilton, wearing next to nothing, striking exactly the same consultant-recommended pose every time they spot a flash-bulb, and plastering their vapid features all over the magazine pages and bilboards of the world.
		Well, few remember that the world was fascinated with a different pair of Hilton sisters, Daisy and Violet, who were significantly less freakish, despite being conjoined "siamese" twins, and playing a significant role in Todd Browning's unique film Freaks.
		Daisy and Violet Hilton were born in Brighton to a young, unwed barmaid, Kate Skinner and were "adopted" by their mother's boss and midwife, Mary Hilton.

		Daisy and Violet "want to be like everyone else," but that means something different for each of them.
		Daisy is instantly (and very obviously) drawn to Terry, while Violet privately nurtures her slowly developing love for Buddy.
		Smith is a comic delight as Daisy, and she mixes a lovely old-movie-musical charm with sassy grit to create a very fresh interpretation of the more feisty twin.

		Violet and Daisy Hilton were abandoned by their mother, sensationalized by their adoptive parents and, for a time, toasted by the entertainment world.
		Unlike Chang and Eng, though, Daisy and Violet were spurned by their mother and relatives, lost their fortunes and their show biz fame, never had long marriages, and never had children to see them through later in life - the one child, a son, that Daisy bore was given up for adoption.
		Mary Hilton brought the twins to San Francisco in 1915, at the behest of her son-in-law, Myer Myers, and daughter, Edith.

		Since Ox-eye Daisy bears only about 20 ray flowers, an impatient lover is able to arrive at a verdict fairly quickly, but imagine his frustration if he mistakes a Daisy Fleabane flower for an Ox-eye Daisy.
		Daisy Fleabane resembles the true daisy, but its half-inch flowers are only half the diameter and it has two to four times as many ray flowers--up to a hundred in some specimens.
		Daisy Fleabane has an even wider distribution than the common Ox-eye Daisy, occurring naturally in every state east of the Rockies and now introduced into nearly all the rest of the lower 48.

	Chained For Life Review (1951)
		His problem is this: although it looks like a simple cold-blooded killing, the perpetrator is Vivian Hamilton (Violet Hilton) who happens to be a Siamese twin, joined at the hip to her sister, Dorothy (Daisy Hilton).
		The murder plot was, you'll be relieved to know, invented by the screenwriter, and the twins had made an appearance on the big screen two decades before, in director Tod Browning's notorious Freaks, another film that they were only cast in because of their distinctive medical condition.
		Dorothy's desire to be free of her sister is illustrated by a ridiculous dream sequence featuring a Daisy double leaving her twin behind to gambol in a garden - closeups are achieved by having Violet hidden by a tree, which nowadays can't help but make you think of the Farrelly brothers' comedy Stuck on You.
