I'm not sure what the real name is for these but we used to call them Dandy Lions & we would spend hours sitting outside making daisy chains with them when we were kids (kids were much easier to keep amused back then) & so whenever I see them now they bring back memories of childhood.
We call them cape weed daisies Sherrill. They amaze me with their resilience. I can mow them today, and in the morning, the flower will have popped up again. I joke that they bob their heads down as the mower passes over them. My grandmother used to have a theory that if you wore a daisy chain through the day, that you would wet the bed that night - but she did have some quirky superstitions that rarely came true. Nice shot.
@elke thanks Elke @murnane they are very tough Marg...in fact I'm not sure that you aren't right about them bobbing down when they hear the mower :) by the way, I misspelt their name it's Dandelions oops...it's been a lonngggg time. I had forgotten about the bed wetting superstition until you mentioned it, my dear Mum is very superstitious too. Thanks for reminding me of that, I was tempted to make a chain but now I don't think I will, don't want to take any chances :) @bdb3471 thank you Brian, it has brought back many childhood memories of childhood on the school oval...eating "plum puddings" & "sour grass" to name a couple...how gross!!!
