My shasta daisies were planted last year and I must have somehow picked the perfect spot for them. I have a lot of shade and they do get some nice sun where they are. The plant is easily three times the size of the original plant now. To be divided next year. I love that.

They are gorgeous. Started blooming around July 2nd, glorious on July 4th, and now - July 26th - are starting to get kind of brown and are starting their graceful exit.

Jeremy (my husband) agrees that they are beautiful flowers, but feels offended that they always have their backs to us. Kind of rude he says. Of course, the sun is in the other direction and I do point this out to him. It's pretty funny to try to personalize it and think that they may actually be snubbing us and all of our rushing around.
