Lawn Daisy


Everywhere on lawns and also elsewhere, Lawn Daisy (Bellis perennis).






Little radiant suns, a circle of pink-tipped ligulate flowers around a golden heart of tubular flowers.





A stem with a single flowerhead with typical hairs on the bracts.




And this stem comes out of a small basal cluster of leaves flat on the soil. Hoarfrost? No problem at all!





A bit of cold does not matter. The flower simply closes.






Here the flower in the rays of an end of the afternoon sun, beginning to close for the night.
