Stopping to Smell the Flowers


Chrysanthemum leucanhemum

Technically a non-native. It's a European import.

Also called the Common Daisy. The Ox-eye Daisy contains tyrehrum - a chemical that repels insects and s used in organic pesticides.

It is a nice garden plant that you'll find growing all over the Platz.

We use a spray of these to decorate the dinner table or the cocktail tables on the porch.

  1. Beautiful, no matter what the name is...but have you noticed the fuzzy area in the near center, upper part of your photos? Looks like your lens needs some attention!
