The Perfect Daisy

This daisy sparkled with early morning dew---a rare occurrence this hot, dry summer.

Stop and Smell the Daisies

In youth from rock to rock I went,
From hill to hill in discontent
Of pleasure high and turbulent,
Most pleased when most uneasy;
But now my own delights I make,--
My thirst at every rill can slake,
And gladly Nature's love partake,
Of Thee, sweet Daisy!
William Wordsworth from To the Daisy

Daisy Stowaway

Daisy Oxeye is a beautiful but non indigenous wildflower. Still this daisy variety is beneficial to butterflies and other insects. 

Oxeye Daisy

There weren't many Oxeye Daisies the last couple of years, perhaps because of the wet conditions. This year they are back to being abundant.

The Oxeye is an introduced species from Europe.
