Oxeye Daisies

I love seeing the oxeye daisies in bloom. They are everywhere right now.  Look along the roadways, meadows, and hillsides.  They are even blooming in my yard.  
 
Botanically, oxeye daisies are Leucanthemum vulgare. They are extremely common, even weed-like throughout much of North America.  I've read that farmers dislike them because if eaten by dairy cattle, they can produce an unwanted flavor in milk.  
 
But, since I'm not a dairy farmer, it's ok for me to love them.  They are cheerful, and make me smile.  
 
Be on the lookout in your travels, especially throughout our neighborhood.  
 
HAPPY GARDENING!!!!
