Whatever time of year, it is rare to see a patch of lawn without the bright little face of a daisy flower. Adorable, familiar, a child's first flower, and pretty as a picture, the common daisy, Bellis perennis is the star of my vase this week.
There have been some cracking early morning skies this week. The sunrise has generated a strong rose gold light which has been picked up not only in the clouds but also through the silver-white grasses around the edge of the golf course. I always marvel at the clouds. Constantly changing, formations that have never been seen before, never to be seen again.
Isn't it meant to be summer when you can cover 10 daisies with your foot, Amanda?! But you have put them into your vase and not stood on them so we won't know!! Such a pretty vase too, with its encrustations. Thanks for sharing - and your flower fairies too
ReplyDeleteLove the Flower Fairies! I think they are responsible for my lifelong love of flowers, and certainly how I learnt the names of most of the wild flowers I have known ever since I was a little girl. A
DeleteSo many daisies-it must be spring. Or nearly. They look so pretty in your cute teapot. I love Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies.
ReplyDeleteThere are daisy plants scattered through the grass of the neighbouring golf course, which closes over the winter months, so the daisies have kept growing and flowering in a very modest way! Always lovely to see! A
DeleteLovely! I think you're right about a daisy being a child's first flower. Have a nice week.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember making daisy chains to wear around your neck or as a circlet on your head! Most of my childhood memories are flower-based but none more so than of the daisy! Hope you have a good week too. A
DeleteI'm very fond of flower fairies, as you might expect! Daisies are one of my personal favorites as well. I have no Bellis perennis to share but I have faux daisies in the form of Leucadendron, and my Pyrethropsis hosmariense (aka Moroccan daisies) have just begun to bloom in earnest and may show up in one of my vases soon.
ReplyDeleteI have just Googled your Pyrethropsis hosmariense and what a lovely daisy, and very soft pretty foliage! I look forward to seeing some of those in your Monday vase some time soon! A
ReplyDeleteBellis are such pretty flowers with their flushed pink tips. Another flower fairy fan here. I was delighted recently to complete a set of 4 flower fairy mugs depicting each season. Spring finally arrived after a long search for her !
ReplyDeleteI have always loved the Flower Fairies! I've got ancient little books which were old when I got them, which would have been over 60 years ago! Spring is arriving - hooray! A
DeleteSo very pretty and my mum has exactly the same little tea pot...lovely xxx
