I remember my grandparents had these little red daisies lining each side of the path in their small garden. The path led to the outside privy so not that romantic.
But I thought the colour to be appropriate for Valentine's day.
Thank you for all your interest and comments. If you actually saw this daisy you would no doubt be surprised how small it actually is.
And I find it strange that I have such vivid childhood memories of these in my grandmother's garden.
@quietpurplehaze You are not alone Hazel. I have the most vivid memories of my granny’s garden. Having picnics in the garden & the sight & smell of the Michaelmas daises. They were quite tall for me & they used to sway in the breeze. Strange what we remember.
I think there is a certain romance in an outside privy! Especially if it is a compost toilet provided that the container beneath has plenty of room for sawdust !
I never did know as a child but could have thought to read the label in the garden centre the other day - sorry!
Thanks, and yes, enjoyed making the macro shot, Phil, created by filling in the background on a frame mask using FastStone (open source) software.

Yes, and we remember scent/smell which I think is not as developed as other senses. Perhaps it is more acute in childhood.
This one was not romantic! It had 2nd hand newspaper; it smelt; it was emptied by men in the dead of night..............
