When I was a child, daisies were my absolute favorite flowers. I loved the beaded look of the yellow center. The way the white petals opened up so invitingly. Come up close and look at the magic within, they called out to me.


I don’t have a favorite flower anymore. I like them all in some fashion.


Now I appreciate all the shades of greens that the leaves bring to the overall picture. The way texture plays out across the garden in many shapes and sizes.


I like to mix sedums with tulips, just for fun.


I like how the small pond beckons creatures, big and small, to drink from the water.


This sedum has tiny yellow flowers that look so pretty alongside any plant.


I think Clyde’s favorite place is just a resting spot where he can escape the dogs and relax in the early days of spring time.

  2. I have to agree…all flowers are special in some way, including daisies!

    I usually say ‘one’ of my favorites cause I have so many.


    Beautiful photos!

  3. Daisies and Indian Paintbrushes and Dandelions all held special magical powers when I was a child. Simple times — lovely memories!

  6. Brenda your words surely ring true this wonderful spring. I like daisies alot too. How would we ever know if he ‘loved us’ without their wonderful petals? And the beads are sweet too. Your sedum/tulip combo is wonderful.

  7. Daisies were childhood friends of mine too, along with other field flowers and tiny share blooms that hid in the woods. As usual the feast of color on your blog feeds my spirit. What a happy place!

  8. PS That should say “Tiny shy blooms” not “share blooms.” *giggle*

  9. Daisies were always my favorite flower too…because they are the happy flower. Rudbeckia is my favorite now, but isn’t it just a yellow daisy after all?
