Daisies

Daisies are another plant that gardeners regard as a weed, but which I find quite cheerful.

This shot was taken on Clifton Ings, on the flood bank, the slope of the bank giving the effect of low sun.

In Norse mythology, the daisy is Freya's sacred flower. Freya is the goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, and as such the daisy came to symbolize childbirth, motherhood, and new beginnings.

I love daisies too! It is such an innocent looking flower. Didn't know that Norse history, how interesting.

I love daisies, they are so fresh looking always the first flowers in the lawns and grass , I am quite sad when the first cut of spring takes them away

[carol white]

Very pretty. I love to see the 🌼 daisies in the garden

[Jesika]

Definitely not weeds, but neither are dandelions and buttercups and and and...just plants in the wrong place
Didn't know the Norse story, very interesting.

Great composition. I buy daisies and use them to brighten up the garden. One persons flower is another's weed.

I love daisies too, we don't see them here because it is too hot but we used to have them in Victoria.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I'm glad so many of you like daisies - we have a carpet of them in the lawn at the back of our house and I am very reluctant to cut them.
