We see these daisies, growing in our neighbor’s garden, from our windows. They are luminescent just after sunset and just before sunrise.
Please stop by Susan’s, for gardens and other outdoor views, each Wednesday.

We watched the 1960 Doris Day-David Niven movie, “Please Don’t Eat the Daisies”, over the weekend. Love that film!
I was reminded of the daisies, growing in our neighbor’s garden and took these photos, early Monday morning.
Have you made a Daisy Chain and worn it in your hair? I have…
Bright flowers, whose home is everywhere
Bold in maternal nature's care
And all the long year through the heir
Of joy and sorrow,
Me thinks that there abides in thee
Some concord with humanity,
Given to no other flower I see
The forest through.
~William Wordsworth~

I love daisies -- a favorite garden flower at Linderhof. Great pictures.
LOVE LOVE LOVE that movie - but I'm a big Doris Day fan - always happy movies. Another movie stated that daisies were happy flowers and I agree. Beautiful photos once again
Hugs - karen
I love daisies! Defintely a happy flower1 My daisies bloomed profusely this year....sadly they are starting to wane. I also love Doris Day movies...so innocent and sweet.

Fabulous Post!!!
I have always loved the movie and I have really been loving the flower more and more and more.
I love Shasta Daisies, and planted some here which are blooming also. Love the film too, a classic!
Daisies are my daughter's favorite flower..as was my mother's.
These are wonderful and your talent as a photographer really does them justice.
I loved that movie, too, and haven't watched it in years. She has always been one of my favorites and I didn't miss her movies. Rock Hudson once said she had the cutest tush of any ladies he ever worked with!! :O) Think they were really good friends right up to the end for Mr. Hudson.
He was always soooo handsome and she so precious. And, I adored David Niven!!
Lovely pictures of one my favorite flowers! I also watched PDETD this weekend...I adore Doris Day! What a great actress she was, our perpetual virgin...

Pat-I love daisies! They are just wholesome all-American flowers to me :)--just like Doris Day! I was thinking of that movie as I saw your picture and then read that you had watched it :) Glad you have such a wonderful view!
I watched that movie this weekend too! So sweet! I love Doris Day! and I love those daisies.:)
I think Daisies are like little rays of sunshine tucked into a flower bed or a vase. Beautiful pictures, Pat!
I think I'll get the movie from Netflix for us to watch on our family vacation next month. It's truly a classic, and they don't make many like that anymore, do they.
Daisies still my heart!
I remember that movie. It was fun to watch. Yes, I have made daisy chains. Wore them in my hair and as necklaces and bracelets. I love daisies...
Gprgeous daisies!!!
Daisies are my mother's favorite flower...she used them in her wedding!!! Everytime I see them I think of her!!!
Wonderful post!!! Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos!!!
Enjoy!!!
XOXO

Love this post, the movie Please Don't Eat the Daisies, & Doris Day!! ♥
What pretty daisies!
Blessings,
Sandra
Pat, Those daisys are beautiful!!!!! So country and Summery! Nancy
I've never made a daisy chain for my hair, but I can picture Maddy (our 9 yr old "flower child" granddaughter) wearing one. Her mom's favorite flower was a daisy back when she married my son...and although the marriage is over, we still think fondly of our former daughter-in-law. To this day, I think of the daisy as the perfect flower for her and for Maddy.

I DID! I DID!!! Good memories! Thanks. And thanks for the great pictures. Sometimes it is the little things ...
They just make your day!
I loved that movie also.
I don't think I missed any Doris Day movies.I don't think they make movies like that anymore.
I love the daisies too.
Thanks for sharing
God bless
Daisies are so fun to photograph. They're just such happy flowers, aren't they?

Daisies were my wedding flowers 43 years ago. Or is it 44?
1965.
Oh, man, I'm old.
What a lovely post. Your photographs are outstanding. I love the pretty daisies, although I've never worn them in my hair. I'd like to see that movie - I've always enjoyed Doris Day.
I have enjoyed that movie, Pat. Lovely daisies, my favorite daisies are gerberas...Christine
Absolutely exquisite!
I've never made a daisy chain.
Doris Day.....love all her films. Your photos are great:) Thanks for stopping by today.
I just love dasies! I will chack on those colors and get back to you. I think we threw the can of blue away but I wrote the number down...somewhere..hehe! I know the wall color is relaxed kahki from sherwin. I will find out for sure~
my kitty's name sake of course!
Goodness they are gorgeous!! I'm trying to decide on what to plant in our backyard and I'm thinking lots of large clumps of the same flower. This seals the deal! Seeing all the daisies together is stunning.

Hi Pat, :) We used to make chains, not from daisies, but from the wild clover growing in the grass (the same clover that hid the bees that I would step on). We would actually jump rope with them. ~ Lynn
Pat - I love daisies. Mine have bloomed and are gone. I think it depends on what side of the house they are located. Mine are on the west. They bloomed early this summer. Your pictures are fantastic.
Have a wonderful evening.
Charla
Fantastic photos of one of my very favorite flowers, Pat!
Brenda

Hey Mom!! Did you know that daisey's are Xanti's favorite flower? She says they are the friendliest flower.
;})
Kim
Oh I just love daisies! Those pictures are beautiful. I love when Meg Ryan says to Tom Hanks on You've Got Mail "Don't you think daisies are the friendliest flowers?" They just make me smile!
Blessings,

I love that movie!!!! I just wish you could really fix up an old house that quickly.
Thanks so much for sharing those fun daisies. :D Jewel
I haven't worn a daisy chain in my hair since the 70's!!!
Your neighbors daisies are lovely.

What a lovely outdoor post. Love your daisy shots and the poem and all!
And..If you are going to San Francisco, be sure to wear daisies in your hair...I know it's flowers, but tonight it will be daisies..
Love them..
We have a variety here called Montauk Daisies...September blooms..not as delicate as yours, but big showy mounds of them all over out here..a future OW post for me!
Happy OW, Pat..
Your daisies are a beauty, great macros! These flowers bring sunshine and happiness!
Your pictures are very nice, you can even make a daisy look very pretty.
Love the Daisy's! Great pictures. How didn't like Doris Day...I love her. Thanks. Mumzie
Daisies, daisies, daisies. I love em. I have some below my banner on my blog. I have them in my garden and the clump is over 30 years old. I have painted them on welcome signs and given them away on my blog.
I love me those daisies.
Daisies are so pretty - sort of a happy flower. Thanks for sharing.
Oh Pat! I love the daisies. Aren't they just beautiful? They make a person smile. They look so clean and always beautiful. I love this post. Just beautiful. Country Hugs, Sherry

Good morning Pat, your neighbors flowers are wonderful. Thanks for the memory of making a chain out of daisys. I hadn't thought about that in a long time..I didn't realize they called a trumpet vine Cow Itch...interesting... Thanks for a great Outdoor Wednesday..

Im looking for just the right pillows and Im having trouble finding the button covers for these babes... Have a sweet one!

Daisies are a fav of mine. I've always said my husband married me, because I said I like daisies better than roses. He knew I was a cheap date! These are beautiful photos. Oh Yes! I wore a daisy chain in my hair. Those were the days, my friend! laurie
