And Speaking of Oxeye Daisies
Posted on May 18, 2024 8:00 AM by Gerry Trout
These are the Oxeye Daisies growing in our upper garden, just below the wisteria. This is just a small chunk of them. They are filling that whole area where I threw out the wildflower seeds. They make me so happy every year.
The flowers stand on stems about 12 inches high, and they move in the breeze. They are growing all over our hillsides too, and I guess the deer don’t care for them, because they are still there.
Whenever I see them, I think: I could never work on a grounds maintenance crew, because first of all I am highly susceptible to poison ivy, and secondly I couldn’t bear to cut down all the wildflowers growing on the hillsides. Just couldn’t do it. I would get fired for not doing my job.
HAPPY GARDENING!!!
