Considered a noxious weed in some parts, but around here it seldom takes over enthusiastically enough to be a problem. This is the flower commonly known as “daisy” to Americans, and it is more beloved than hated almost everywhere it grows. It holds its daisies up proudly on long stems perfect for cutting. In most of our older references, this species is placed in the genus Chrysanthemum.
These plants were blooming in Castle Shannon in the middle of June.
The English Daisy (Bellis perennis) is much rarer in this area, and easily distinguished by its low habit.
