Oops-a-Daisy it's Flower Friday!

So the other day Gail and I made the two mile walk from our house down to the mouth of Aberdeen harbour, and she decided this big patch of daisies would make a nice feature for Rosy and the LLB gang's Flower Friday.

Gosh if you had any idea how patiently I stood on the steep slope while Gail awkwardly manoeuvered herself into a crouching position to take the pictures showing the North Sea in the background.

And you know I even refrained from laughing when Gail stood up again and realised she'd been sitting in a bog...

Gail and I did have a little dispute about what type of daisies we were looking at. Of course, when Gail consulted the flower book after we got home, she decided that I was probably right, and they were shasta daisies (a garden escape) and not oxeye daisies.

PS Is it wrong to find it funny that the latin name for the shasta daisy is leucanthemum x superbum?

  9. Those are pretty daisies and we love the coastline in the background. Of course the scene is all set perfectly because you are in it too Bertie. You had us laughing at the Latin name of the flower too.

  11. OMD...We think Mama's jaw just dropped to the floor when she saw the picture of you, the daisies AND the North Sea!

    We, on the other hand, also giggled Gail's boggy mishap...mostly because similar things have happened to our Mama...

  12. Superbum - BOL - maybe that has something to do with the bog Gail was sitting in:) The daisies are quite lovely. Mom remembers digging up daisies along the country roads when she was a little girl out for a Sunday drive with her mother and grandmother - sadly the daisies never survived once planted back home:(

  14. I adore your daisies. We just had a daisy debate here too. Our recent invaders are oxeye so they must go... I'm so glad that yours are Shasta!

  15. I love daisies and was pretty sure these were shasta daisies. A field of daisies sounds like heaven to me.
