'The daisy is a happy flower,
And comes at early spring,
And brings with it the sunny hour
When bees are on the wing.'
- John Clare, "The Daisy"
A common sight across the UK, daisies are a delightful sign that spring has arrived and summer is on its way.
Each flower has a rosette of small, thin white petals surrounding a bright yellow centre. These are supported by a single stem which grows from a group of dark green rounded leaves. The petals can sometimes be tinged with pink.
This cheerful cluster were in a shopping centre near where my mum lives, and I sat enjoying their company while waiting for the shop to open that sells hot roast pork sandwiches.
Thank you all for your comments and favs, they are very much appreciated!
