“It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.” ―Charles Dickens

Daisies are always a happy flower regardless of time of year.
Hi Anita! So glad you stopped by. I hope you are doing well.
Daisies are perfect all year round! It’s God’s way of showing love one flower at a time.
Have a great rest of the weekend!
I fully agree.
Oh what a cool ost for today 😀
Thank you!
I love the quote and daisies always make me smile with their cheery faces.
Daisies always uplift. They are one of my favorite favorite flowers!! Gerber Daisies are bigger smiles on stems.
I love them, but they always seem to “faint” even in the shade. But they are always gorgeous flowers.
I’ve noticed that about the Gerber Daisies too. Maybe it’s due to the larger flowers that make them tilt down. But I know what you mean.
I’ve even planted them underneath a small ornamental tree that gives them shade, but they still faint and collapse, even watering them twice a day, so I had to finally give up on them.
Well, that’s the story of my plant life. My plants start out well but sadly most of them faint, ready to collapse. I can start out with a perfectly healthy plant and kill it in a matter of weeks. I get scared when they look healthy, because I don’t know what’s going to happen to it soon.
Ha ha – that’s why I have silk at the side/front of the house. You can’t tell unless you’re up close. When I retire, I would like to get back into gardening again.
The silk flowers are made so well…they look like the real thing. That’s a good idea…I may use it. You know how my gardening history is blah…too sad.
Yes, you can’t tell the difference unless up close. No weeding, deadheading, watering and I take large pipe cleaners (the extra-long variety that are used for crafts) and I use them to connect to the shepherd’s hook or wherever I have them sitting or hanging. This keeps them from being damaged during strong winds.
Very nice! You’re making me want to get some of silk flowers to put the the empty pots outside. My gardening skills are zilch. All the plants that come under my care die within months. One living thing that has been thriving is our Betta fish: 3 years.
The fish are a good sign – one day you can have a pond in the backyard. Don’t let the kids know that idea though. The silk plants are a livesaver!
I’m seriously considering silk plants!! I’m not too confident I could keep a pond full of fish alive. That’s a lot of pressure. lol
