#2382 "A Tangle of Daisies"

My gardens were really planted by nature. All I do is selectively pull the plants that might not play well with the others. The daisies are bright and cheery and last for most of the summer. They may not be good forage for the creatures that share this property but they are cheerful so they get to stay. We all need some happiness to brighten our lives. Not everything must be eaten or consumed!.

This particular cluster of daisies was thriving in the rocky soil along the southern face of the marble ridge. The tall stems of the plants were tangled together. Turtles had a challenge to force their way through the braided macrame forest. I made sure that there were easy ways around the daisies so that the activities of the nesting turtles were not to impeded. Sometimes I could only detect the ninja-like motions of the turtles through the swaying of the tall grasses. I was able to protect a dozen turtle nests from predators in 2020. That is par for the course. 

There was one tall yellow flower in this garden. I observed and painted it but could not put a name to the little beauty.
