shasta daisy

Botanical definition: That part of a plant destined to produce seed, and hence including one or both of the sexual organs; an organ or combination of the organs of reproduction, whether enclosed by a circle of foliar parts or not. A complete flower consists of two essential parts, the stamens and the pistil, and two floral envelopes, the corolla and calyx.

The daisy family, Compositae, is the largest family of vascularhaving xylem and phloem tubes to conduct fluid plants.

They are usually easy plants and you can have an all season daisy garden by choosing from the vast array of plants that flower with this form, the ray petals around the center disk. Aster, Shastas, Single Chrysanthemums, annuals such as Brachychome, are just a few examples.

Creating a colorful garden isn’t just about flowers, but much of it is, and it is what we think of when we think of a garden: a place filled with flowers.

Is there such a thing as “too many flowers”? Some might say so. Too Many Flowers!
