Hi thought you might like to see David's (my hubby) Livingston Daisy's, he plants them every year in memory of his father.
They look so bright and cheerful, like little jewels in the sunshine
If only I could be free as the birds the places I could visit would be out of this world
Gorgeous colours Polly and what a nice thing to do each year

Thats a great display, the colours are fantastic. Do you get many bees or hoverflies taking an interest? You may find that house sparrows will take a shine to the foliage, cheeky scamps!

They look fantastic polly. I haven't grown those for years, but I remember that they only do well in sunny positions, and up here in Lancashire we don't see much sun these days.
There are 9000 species of bird on earth. Let's keep it that way.
Ian the bee's do seem to take a great deal of interest in them and I really don't mind the sparrows but I'm not sure what hover-flies look like.
Budgie,Lancaster and the Lancastrians are the sunshine :)
Hi Polly, its great to hear they are attracting bees, although if you are a bee and looking for a brightly coloured flower to settle on, it would be difficult to miss these, they are literally glowing with colour! Hoverflies come in various shapes and sizes, many of them try to mimic wasps and bees but are completely harmless and are good to have around the garden, the link here tells you a bit more.
"Magic Roundabout" flowers :-)
I bet everyone who sees these pix ends up with a smile on their faces
So cheerfull and viberant colours.
