A few non-horse pictures.

I was wondering if anyone knew anything about daisy's. Last year from seed I planted Shasta daisy's and African daisy's. I could swear I planted all Shasta daisy's around my fountain, and put the african ones someplace else and then pulled them out because I got them mixed up with the wild flowers.

Anyway, I have two clumps by the fountain, that started out looking the same but has changed, and one now has flower buds now and one doesn't. I'm wondering if anyone can tell if one bunch is shasta, and the other african. In this pictures I think the ones at the lower left are definitely shasta, but the one towards the right of the picture, doesn't look the same at all, but I just don't remember planting different one's there, so I'm not sure what they are. Are the shastas, that just look different? I'm not real happy with the bigger clump, they've gotten so big, you can't see the fountain from the patio, but if they are a daisy's I'll leave them then transplant it in the fall.

My house with the yard mowed nice:) You can barely see, but the morning glories are at the top of the arbor.

And a picture from the road looking up my driveway. I think this part of the drive is nice, and old country road looking.

Nice pictures!

I don’t have pictures (I looked) of the Shasta Daisies at the beach house, but they’re monstrous... they’re 3-4 feet tall when they bloom.

I think the ones that are blooming already are a dwarf variety, the others are going to be the monster kind.

Your yard and drive does look pretty.

We’re about to run to town... out of squirrel food, and need some dirt and flowers for a new planter we just made from one of the wooden mangers we took out of the stall... I think it’s going to look nice, pics when we get back.

Great pictures of your ride and your yard. If I recall, Shasta daisies are white so if the buds are white they are Shastas. I am pretty sure you can transplant just about any time, also divide the clumps.
