Whilst re-organising my blog, I thought I would post a few photos of some flowers and insects, all of which were taken locally in the last few weeks, including this very common, but often much overlooked, daisy.

There is elegance in simplicity, Andy. Great photo of the daisy. It shows a bit of character, lol

Our family love daisies. We had our garden re-landscaped two years ago, and new grass/turf put in. We then lost no time in planting plugs of wildflowers in it, most particularly daisies because we felt the whole point of a lawn is to enjoy the daisies (and clover).

That’s fantastic Christine 🙂 So many lawn growers strive to keep out daisies and clover, but that just makes a garden sterile. The ‘weeds’, known to the rest of us as wild flowers, attract the insects and therefore birds and other animals too 🙂

Oh, and Andy, I would love it if you have a moment to provide some more info on your fabulous contribution photography of the Bronze age stones in Cornwall on the MMPhoto post. I, for one, would be interested in hearing about it from your point of view.

It’s a shame people take daisies for granted and just ignore them, unless their children are making daisy chains. As your lovely, close-up photo shows, they are a really pretty little flower. 🙂

LOL!!! I did worry a wee bit about posting a photo of a spider, I know a lot of people really don’t like them.
But I’m pleased you like the daisy 🙂

One of my favourite photographers (have you come across Sonel- she’s brilliant?) often focuses on the insect world but I much prefer her Vervet monkeys and flowers.
