I propagate these every year by division. I have also grown them from cuttings.
Apparently they are named after the snow capped mountains in California in north America.
I love them. I have never known such a good year for flowers. Its been glorious.
I have been working all week and been too busy to blog until now. Will catch up with your blogs.
Ours have just bloomed too.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty.
Aren't they just JayCee. I love them.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite flowers, I can't get them to grow in our heavy clay soil, I have one growing in a big pot, my dad always grew them, only flower he grew, he always said he only grew things you could eat. I loved his vegetable garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are wonderful Marlene. I think it was my Irish grandfather and my dad's brothers who inspired me to grow things. John Seymour is my smallholding self sufficiency guru. Please write some posts about your dad's vegetable garden. I plan on visiting the Eden Project this year and a return to Heligan. I last visited it twenty six years ago.
ReplyDeleteI will see if I can find some old photos.
DeleteGreat. I look forward to seeing your blog posts Marlene.
DeleteBeautiful photo! Warm greetings from a 68 year old retired lady living in Montreal, Canada. My paternal grandparents were born in Kent, England.
ReplyDeleteHi Linda. Thank you for your comment. I have visited Kent several times. Especially Canterbury and Faversham. It really is the garden of England.
DeleteI love when the garden starts to “wake “ up.
ReplyDeleteDaisies are so forgiving. They come back year after year, no matter how badly you treat them. Well not me. The weather
Hi Angela. It' seems like garden magic when the flowers arrive in full bloom. Roses are also very tough no matter if you prune them or move them.
ReplyDeleteA very good year. My apricot and peach trees in the tunnel, were smothered in flowers and helped no doubt by the friendly bees, now residing in our field, so many were fertilized that the trees are covered in fruit, Usually we hand polinate, not this year. I have been picking about 3kg each day , for about 10 days and still the apricots are hanging in bunches. Beautiful.

They sound wonderful Kathy.
DeleteThey are a beautiful sight
ReplyDeleteThey are GZ.
DeleteThey were in my garden in Havant the first year we were there and I must have offended them. They never grew there again.
ReplyDeleteI am surprised at that TM. Mine self seed and I am always making new Daisies.
DeleteEarlier this week I walked through Sheffield's Botanical Gardens and the flower borders were in a state of pure perfection. So beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThey sound fabulous. I hope you took some photos for your blog YP?
DeleteNo. I didn't have my camera as I had just been for a blood test at the hospital.
DeleteI always take photos with my mobile phone.
DeleteLovely! :)
ReplyDeleteThey are Dawn.
DeleteI have some daisies, not these ones, in the garden. They bloom in heatwaves. 😊😊
ReplyDeleteAny kind of Daisy brightens up any garden Linda.
ReplyDeleteI love daisies. I hope your work brought you satisfaction!
ReplyDeleteThey're great aren't they Debby. I am tired but I earned a few more beer tokens for my prog festival roughing it trip in England.
ReplyDeleteThey'r'e lovely. Do you find them easy to propogate?
ReplyDeleteVery easy Jules. Mainly by division in spring and autumn.
