So pretty and delicate-looking, Jennie. In England, they actually are lawn weeds, as prevalent as dandelions.
ReplyDeleteIt's so interesting how some plants are a joy in one country and a bane in others!
DeleteI love seeing these pop up in grass.
ReplyDeleteEnglish Daisy. Ha! The bane of our lives here in England! Anyone who has a lawn hates them. (One of the reasons I got rid of my lawn). Beautiful the way you have displayed them though!
ReplyDeleteFascinating Mark! We hate the 'Dandelions' here. And I do mean hate, although, in by gone era's they were used to make a wine. I am plum tickled with English Daisy's right now and I think they would be darling in lawns, but my husband would probably hate them as he is a stickler about anything non-grass in the lawn.
DeleteI love these daisies and some are flowering already in my lawn (I better can say grass) where they are allowed. Dandelions is different, these are the first I try to get rid off.
ReplyDeleteI laugh as I write this. I was just going to remark that I love them, but can't get them to grow here. Then I see the above comment likening them to dandelions. Perspective is a funny thing.
ReplyDeleteI love English daisies. This photo is so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing. Happy spring to you Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo. Isn't that funny about the difference in how much people like them. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot! It brought a smile to my face.
ReplyDeleteVery photogenic! These bloom in the lawns around my school and in the nearby park and I think the look is delightful. I've actually bought these and planted them in my lawn before but they don't seem to last long. Clearly, I'm not a turf purist and let moss, crocus, and sweet violets grow in my lawn, secretly hoping that they'll just take over.
