Crazy Daisies
Submitted by High Altitude Gardening Blog
Mutant Painted Daisy?I used to own a hippy skirt that looked just like this flower!
Found an old packet of Painted Daisy seeds earlier this year. Decided to test them in the sunny window to see what would grow.
They’re supposed to bloom pink and purple and do so after I transplant them into the garden.
Instead they’re blooming early and it looks as if they’re heading to a Grateful Dead concert.
I imagine this is all part of the rebellion.
My seedling army is biding it’s time in the big, sunny window. Overdue for transplanting ~ the weather simply will not cooperate. These May days are far too chilly and I’m behind on most everything I’ve set out to do.
Speaking of Grateful Dead concerts, check out Buddy ~ doesn’t he look high as a kite?
He dearly loves the Catmint perennials ~ which are very mellow compared to Catnip. He sniffs the minty leaves, gets all dreamy-eyed and far too lazy to pester these little guys:
Quick ~ quick! What’s the first sign of old age setting in? Is it…
A) Watching the birds?
B) Feeding the birds?
C) Giving a damn about the birds?
D) None of the above.
The correct answer is D. The first sign of old age is sitting in the office taking pcitures out the window because I’m too tired to walk outside this morning. (Long live Photoshop.)
