I have decided to join the blogging craze. I am looking forward to taking a moment to find out a little more about the plants I have been photographing. I hope to explore all aspects of plants, flowers, trees and other garden related topics. Sorry about having to watermark the photos but there are a lot of people using them without permission.

Shasta Daisy
Shasta Daisy
Leucanthemum x superbum
(lew-KANTH-ih-mum) (soo-PER-bum)
Poking around the archives on my hard drive I found some Shasta Daisy pictures from May. It was a nice stand of flowers that looked nicely cared for and not ratty like some Daisy patches. We have begun using more and more Daisies, as they are a reliable showy perennial. If we could just keep the deer off them they would be perfect. Just a classic flower.

Today’s bonus flower is a hardy geranium. This is another plant that has been getting to the head of the purchase line at the nursery. The color is outstanding (especially in groups) and with a little care can bloom almost all season.
