Some simple but elegant Daisies for Today’s Flowers. This patch of Daisies never seems to fail to have a great show in the spring. It has been steadily increasing in size with virtually no maintenance, except the occasional shearing after the first flush of blooms. Usually I just shear the tips and that rewards me with a new round of blooms. After several years I am going to have to go in and do some dividing, which will be nice for the new plants it will create.

We grew this Flowering Maple last season. I had never seen one this color before and it performed well. Now I kind of wish that we had saved it in the greenhouse over the winter. They do well inside but not great but after a couple of weeks outside in the spring they are back to looking beautiful. You can see a Scarlet Leadwort (Plumbago indica) poking in from the side. They did well together.

Daisies are such happy flowers and the Abutilon is a picture and can be trimmed back for overwintering.

Beautiful flowers! I used to have Flowering Maple grown from seeds by a friend. It was blooming profusely, until when I moved its location, it started to turn brown and then died on me. :(
Perfection.
Sweet.
