Water: Daisy Drops

I have this wonderful variety of Shasta daisy in my garden; it always looks like it has gone through a paper shredder. The petals are curved and curled and never lie very flat, and each bloom is completely different from the next. The bigger the flower, the more riotous the petals. When the clump is in bloom it looks like a really bad hair day!
But, all those curled, curved thin petals catch water drops really nicely......

    YAY! I love this crazy daisy of yours! The picture I took of it a couple of years ago is till one of my favorites. I love, love, LOVE the reflections you captured!

    If you ever decide you need to divide it, just say the word ;)

    I was surprised to see your comment on my blog that you've never been to the lavender farms! You can easily do it as a long day trip. Once you hop on the ferry in Edmonds it's a half hour across and another 45 minutes-ish once you get off. You would be in HEAVEN! My 2 favorites are Purple Haze and Jarden du Soliel.....although the rest are very nice as well.
