Always a Flower - Marguerite Daisies for your Saturday
Hello everyone and welcome to the second of my weekend Daisy posts - Marguerite Daisies for your Saturday
It's a rainy Saturday here on the North Coast of California today, actually it's been a rainy week. Fortunately we had some breaks where the sun came out for a few hours on Thursday and Friday afternoon and I was able get some images for you.
This is the second Argyranthemum hybrid Daisy I brought home last weekend. This type is named Marguerite.
This Daisy opens up almost purple then fades to hot pink after a couple days then to almost white before wilting. These are a bit more delicate that the yellow ones from yesterday and the blooms don't last quite as long.
This one started getting action right after I brought it home and was attracting Butterflies, Hover flies, and Flies within minutes of being out on the deck. Got flies in many of the images I took of this Daisy.
I got this more for color variety than anything. It's not my favorite color but it will be a nice offset to the darker colors in the garden this year.
It does take a nice grouple photo though =)
The storms that rolled through this week were a little rough on this one as it's a little more delicate than the other two Daisies.
This was one of my favorites with the little blue fly and also the end of today's post. Not very chatty in this one today but I do hope you enjoyed the images =)
Here is a peek at the African Daisies coming up tomorrow.

There is nothing shabby about these Margarites! They aren't even singing the blues about the rain outside! They are standing tall and purple.
I get what you mean with the colors. Some just aren't my favorites, but, they enhance what I already have, complementing them in a most rewarding way. Thank you for the shoutout and for using the tag! Now I really need to get this site fixed up nice! :)

Thanks @dswigle the images of this one were from a last weekend just after transplanting. I'm afraid they aren't standing as tall this morning. Lots of wind and rain last couple days has it a little low and need to take off about a half doz blooms or more but it should bounce back just fine.
