Daisy, daisy

[igenlode]

So the first flower on the tallest and most vigorous plant came out, and... it's a daisy. Or something of the sort! Lots more to come, though: there are cranesbill-shaped buds dropping on the very long and straggly plants, fleur-de-lis ones on the tips of the big fleshy kind, little round balls on the ones like forget-me-nots and a spray of small buds on the ones with long thin leaves. Interestingly, there is sporadic damping-off visible among the seedlings in the second tray, which is something I didn't have at all on the first sowing despite the colder temperatures. The container isn't so well-drained, so maybe it really is related to dampness.

I think I have the only lawn on my street without daisies. Which is cruel, because I WANT daisies. I've even tried planting them, but they don't stay. I've no idea why. I never use herbicides.
