Leucanthemum vulgare – Strolling along the riverbank you can’t help but notice the beautiful display this daisy gives. Fairly tall and standing above most of the crowd, the large yellow and white flowerheads were alive with bees and beetles, all enjoying the rich nectar bounty on offer.

Nice! We have them a lot in Latvia. Have you ever saw a similar one but all yellow?

We have some lovely daisies, but they’re not so tall. These would be lovely, waving in a meadow.

They are mainly a grassland species, and do grow in fair numbers there.

Ours are just starting to bloom in our lawn…I mow around them. Not native here though but not really a problem either and, of course, pretty flowers.

Such a lovely addition to the riverbank. I wonder if they escaped from a residential garden? I don’t remember ever seeing them in the wild.

It is a native wild flower here, but they are grown in gardens, too. They are easily sown as a wild flower meadow mix.

Very nice. They look very similar to the Shasta daisies I have in spots in my yard.

A very nice flower – and beautiful photos! Oxeye Daisy … i like the English name! In Swedish prästkrage (präst = priest, krage = collar) We have a lot of them here in our garden. 🙂

Thank you, Anki 🙂 I really like the Swedish name and meaning. You must have lots of nectar loving insects visit your garden!

Few flowers radiate joy like the daisies. It seems I can’t pass one by without having a closer look.
