strange looking daisy!
15 comments
Last year we planted some daisies like plants (dont remember the name sorry) at the edge of our long border. I persumed at the time that they were annuals, but they have all come back….. 
BUT one of them has very strange flowers!
Does anyone know why this has happened? the whole plant is covered in these “strange daisies” bar 3 normal looking ones….
I quite like them ;o

Could this be the result of global warming, she asked out of sheer paranoia ....

What a great quirk of nature.:) I was just looking at this type of daisy yesterday with my mum ( spotted on a walk) she wants some but hasnt been able to find the, that is the plane ones, did you find the name of them ? think they were in her wedding arrangements/decorations and its her 50th anniversary this year so would be good to get some.
