Daisy, Daisy give me your answer do.
I'm half crazy all for the love of you.
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look sweet,
Upon the seat,
Of a bicycle made for two.
You may wear your virtues as a crown, As you walk through life serenely, And grace your simple rustic gown With a beauty more than queenly. Though only one for you shall care, One only speak your praises; And you never wear in your shining hair, A richer flower than daisies.
The daisy's for simplicity and unaffected air.

The daisy is my most favourite flower, even above roses. They are usually what I receive on anniversaries bday etc.
I love how they love packed in a vase on my kitchen table.
Have a happy Sunday

I don't know why blogger does that. In this case I like the perspective of the flowers and I like how you've transitioned from the flower to the arrangment.
I remember that song. Having grown up in the 60's and 70's I've worn daisies more than once in my hair.
Lovely post Gill!
The daisy is a simple but beautiful flower. Your pictures are very nice.
Good Sunday, dear!
I've always loved daisies and you've captured them beautifully and shown us some lovely poems about them :o)
Lovely post Gill, with pretty daisies and all the quotes. Now I am singing Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do in my head. I loved singing it as a child. I think I will be singing it all day now.

Cute poems and I love the Daisies!
Daisies are my favourite flowers and the words and rhymes suit them beautifully. A x
Very beautiful.
Hands down for me, daisies are one of my favorite flowers! I think because my Mom loved them so much. If you don't mind, I do have to add the 2nd verse to your verse--There are a couple of versions to it, but this is the one I know:

Here is my answer true.
I can't cycle, for I get black and blue.
If you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage.
For I'll be switched if I'll be hitched
On a bicycle built for two.
I hope you've had a good weekend Gill!! :-))
I love daisies too and think they are perfect cut flowers. :)
I love daisies on the lawn. I know they're weeds but I sill like them. My granddaughter and I make daisy chains just like I used to when I was little. Funny how some of the things children do don't change with the years.
Pretty daisies. Always so cheerful and dainty.
Happy Sunday!
Blessings, Star
I love daisies with their lovely faces.
