These are some domesticated standard garden variety daisies in our yard. We have a patch (un massif ?) that comes back every year. They're about three feet tall and look wonderful when they flower. Once the flowers fade they look a little sad, then in the fall they turn brown and die back. I have to cut and remove the dead stems before they re-sprout the following spring.

We're expecting some rain today. We'll see how much we get. I may have to turn on the soaker hose for the first time in a long time.
Lol! Oui, un joli massif de marguerites!
ReplyDeleteDaisies are kind of sad looking after they bloom, but they’re so worth it (especially since I’m not the one doing the clean up).
ReplyDeleteToday’s daisies are screaming SUMMER! Lovely.
ReplyDeleteThese are most likely Shasta daisies....

ReplyDeletemitch, I wish they lasted a little longer, but I'm not complaining. Almost anything that thrives on neglect works for me.
