Abstract: A daisy graph is a union of immersed circles in 3-space which intersect only at the triple points. It is shown that a daisy graph can always be realized as the self-intersection set of an immersed closed surface in 3-space and the surface may be chosen to be orientable if and only if the daisy graph has an even number of edges on each immersed circle.
