I don't know for sure..
However, here's the author's site. Maybe your files are corrupted, somehow, not sure.

If Windows 3.1x refuses to execute programs in Winfile, there might be something wrong with either DOSBox or your Windows 3.1x installation.
Maybe the CPU core configured is not ideal, also. Try "core=auto" or "core=dynamic" or "core=normal" (may not work during runtime, edit dosbox.conf).

If that doesn't work, use fixed cycles. Like "cycles=fixed 5000".
Or try running the game on Windows 3.0, if the game supports that.
Alternatively, if you're on Windows, try running the programs with OTVDM/WineVDM. Or try BoxedWine. 😀
PC Emulation
Or use PCem, Qemu or a virtual machine. XP mode for Windows Virtual PC can execute Win31 programs, too.
Good luck! 😀
Edit: Just checked. The site's links are dead. However, archive.org has crawled the URL with the zip file.
Also, I can confirm that the level editor of Daisy 2 doesn't work properly.
I was unable to save anything, despite entering the free registration code and entering all the level data.
I ran it on Windows 3.10 on DOSBox 0.74-2 on Raspbian.
However, Daisy 1 from archive.org (extracted) does seem to run -> https://archive.org/details/DaisysGarden_1020
Edit: Daisy seems to not run on Windows 3.00..
