From the annotations:

Michaelmas daisy: the aster amellus, a small, star-shaped flower ranging in colour from purple to pink to blue, which blooms near Michaelmas (29 September). "From the daffodil to the Michaelmas daisy" thus spans the natural "calendar" of rural life from early spring to autumn.

If you are not familiar with Alasdair Beckett-King, I would suggest you look up his "The Nightmare Before Michaelmas" video over on youtube :)
