I now understand the term “fresh as a daisy.” The Big T picked these for me just before he mowed the lawn. They’ve lasted over a week sitting in a shot glass on the windowsill. Image: Su Leslie, 2016
Thank you. I think daisies are beautiful and too overlooked as flowers. Apparently daisy is a contraction of “day’s eye”, because the flowers close up at night.
YouΒ΄re welcome:) Yes, youΒ΄re right, I think most people donΒ΄t appreciate them so much Β΄cause they think: “WhatΒ΄s so special about them? They just grow everywhere.” But I like them for their delicateness combined with a remarkable resistance and strength.
Oh, I didnΒ΄t know that part with the “dayΒ΄s eye”, but now that youΒ΄ve said it, it definitely makes sense! π
So lovely, Su.

Lovely! But apropos “fresh as a daisy’, my mother told of an ancient aunt who, when asked how she was, would reply ‘fresh as a daisy, a dead one’…..

Beautiful picture, Su! I always feel a little shy about confessing this: but daisies are my favourite flowers:)

Dandelions keep very well in a vase, too. Daisies are so charming. Next time Big T may like to make you a daisy chain. π

Hm. I can’t quite seem him making a daisy chain; his spontaneity generally comes with the caveat that he’s time-poor! π
