The Star of the Garden This Week

July 19, 2013

Daisies, Photography, Garden

There is a clear star in our garden this week:  The Alaskan Daisy.

We planted a few daisies several years ago, and last year we split and moved them to a different area in the garden.

Apparently, they are  very happy in their new home because they are flourishing!

I love daisies.  I prefer them even to roses.  (My grandmother would be so disappointed.  She loved roses…in fact her name was Rose.)

At least I inherited her love of flowers! (and for quilting.)

What’s the star of your garden this week?

    The star flowers in my garden at the moment are my roses. The scent is superb. Truth be known I wouldn’t mind having some daisies.

    Our daisies are in full bloom and are beautiful as well. But, right now I’d have to say our day lilies and hydrangea are the stars of the garden. Perennials – they are all beautiful.

    I would have to ask the deer what the star of my garden is……oy! But, if I could have a star it would absolutely be daisies! (the deer love them, too) Beautiful photos!

    I love flowers, but unfortunately not much of a gardener. However, a couple years ago a friend shared some of her perennials with me and I have some beautiful day lilies (orange and yellow) purple cone flowers and even some daisies. They’re all doing beautifully, despite me 🙂

    My stars right now are daylilies. I have a double golden one, a yellowish gold and a deep red one that are all just gorgeous.

      They sound gorgeous! Wish I could go for a photo stroll in your garden!

    They do love their new home! Full sun and a small dose of neglect will keep daisie’s very happy.

      No wonder they are thriving. I’m the Neglectful Gardener!

    I love daisies as well…way better than roses! Maybe cause it’s hard to identify with something that is as perfect as a rose. Thriving on neglect, that’s my kind of flower. Maybe I should plant some!

      I love roses but am not willing to fuss over them. I guess that’s why daisies do so well in my garden too.

    I have something very similar in my garden in Scotland – thankfully we are enjoying a heat wave at the moment – the last one was in 1976, so you can image how we are toiling in the heat! Love your blog x

      Your last heat wave was more than thirty years ago??? How warm has it been in Scotland this year?

        Hi, I have to say that ’76 was our last prolonged heat wave – we do occasionally have good days during our summers but they are interspersed with some rain and a lot of cloud. The good thing is we do have a lot of daylight hours. I would say this year we have had several consistent weeks of high 20’s (80F).The long hours of daylight is great for long arm machining!
