Montauk daisies have always been my favorite kind of daisies. They bloom in October and they can be found all over Long Island.
Look at how friendly their little faces are...
When I first arrived here, I went to look for them, and some nurseries didn't know what I meant, and other nurseries had all kinds but no Montauk Daisies.
You can imagine my surprise when I stopped by the incredible Idylwilde Farms and saw them peeking their lovely friendly heads amongst all the mums.
My mother had given these daisies to me when I first moved to Princeton, New Jersey and she was still living out at the tip of Long Island. Over the years they grew to be a huge bush of daisies.
So, I planted these this morning and now I will wait for them to grow into a friendly daisy bush greeting me each morning.These friendly faces got me to thinking about what a lovely day it is, and I think I will pack up all my troubles and go for a ride.
These days things are just too overwhelming. Maybe these little faces remind me that like Grandma used to say "This too shall pass!"
The song for this post is Packing Blankets. Grandma's little sister, Adelaide loved daisies too.
Hello Karen,

Karen, I wish for you a day filled with sunshine and smiling faces. We all pray that this too shall pass.
I have to admit that I haven't heard of Montauk daisies. I wonder if they will grow in Michigan?
Karen, you have such a lovely yard. And cute companions! Yes, I believe "this too shall pass". It's lovely to have daisies to brighten the day in the meantime. Blessings to you! ~Kathy
Hi Karen, I think I am going to go for a little ride today too. :)
I love your beautiful flowers! They would cheer anyone up!
So glad you stopped by! Your flowers and pups are just the sweetest. So lovely!
Best, Kim
Those daisys are so fun! They must be perrenials, right? Are they green all summer and then just bloom in October?

Ahhh, the sweet daisies smile no matter the economy or the state of the world. Lets look at them and smile along:>)
Hi Karen :)
You made me want to plant daises everywhere :) They really are friendly and it's wonderful to look at them instead of the news, isn't it?
Hugs,
