The Star of the Garden This Week

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?

  • 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!

  • Daisies are so fresh and so pretty. I just love them!!

  • Linda June Wilson

    I LOVE DAISIES!!

    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.

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

  • 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.

    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 🙂

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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.
