This is a picture of one of my false daisy plants.  As you can tell it has not bloomed yet, however there are tons of little buds! 🙂  This plant has been in my flower bed for years and it kind of died off a few years ago because I neglected it, but this year it came back with a vengeance!   I’m so happy because it is so lovely when in bloom!                                                                               The leaves do get quite a bit darker with fertilizer.  Last year as I’ve mentioned before, coffee grounds kept it dark green.  The dark green leaves next to the yellow flowers is so pretty and  the color contrast is amazing!  I will try to remember to post pics of this pretty flower when it blooms and when the leaves are darker. 🙂

This is another great flower to use in the classroom with young children because there is an abundance of buds and you can set up the different stages of growth for the children to explore. 🙂
