Isn’t that where the name “daisy” comes from ? I thought it was named “day’s eye” because it opened and closed at sunrise and sunset. I think that’s what my Mum told me anyway!
“The name of a flower taken from the Old English daegeseage, meaning “the day’s eye”. The name reflects the way the flower opens in the day and closes at night.” So your Mum was quite correct.

A delightful portrait of this charming flower.
Yes, they can be as pretty as any cultivated flower, especially when there is that hint of pink.
Yes!
Great companions in the garden and beyond!
They certainly make themselves at home here in my garden!
That’s very lovely. 🙂
Thank you – my garden is full of daisies and forget me nots!
The focusing worked so well on this one, Jude.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Thanks Pete. I had my prime lens on which creates lovely blurry backgrounds.
The day’s eye…
Clever!

Could be. If it is I had forgotten!

She usually was, it turned out!
I love the forget-me-not with its hint of pink too.
Well spotted. Some of the flowers are pink or lilac.
Oh lovely
😊
How lovely. Spring is everywhere.
Hurtling along at a pace. I wish it would slow down.
Wow, gorgeous.
I seem to cultivate daisies. And dandelions.
Rather an uppity daisy at this point. 🙂 Love the buebells too.
Ha, yes, very uppity! And the blues are forget-me-nots, though I was taking photos of bluebells today as it happens.
Sorry. I misread that. I thought I saw bluebells. Ooops.
Well they are blue, whereas bluebells are really violet.
