Back and Front

Early-ish yesterday morning, I poked my nose into the easement, which desperately needs mowing. But there are flowers — erigeron aka fleabane — along part of the fence.


They are such pretty little things, and I can't bear to mow them down just yet. It's not that anyone really sees them back there, but I am still reluctant. On the other hand no one really sees the current mess either, so there's really no hurry.


Meanwhile, out front, the daisies are beginning to open. I am so pleased to have daisies again after a longish absence. I don't know why they failed previously, but I hope this plant flourishes for many a year.


There are only three flowers open now, but there are lots of buds.

  1. Fleabane is simply the wild cousin of daisies ! Liked the pink frilly ones too.

  2. I'm seeing fleabane opening also which is nice. I love the pinkish color some of them have before they fade. I like your little wild place!

  3. I didn't know erigeron was also called Fleabane. I'm with you. Let them flower for a bit.

  4. I've noticed the daisies really popping up along our country lane. Great swaths of them will be here until the blasted township comes along and mows everything down.

  6. I've never seen pink fleabane, just white. It's absolutely lovely. Don't mow it!
