Got daisies?

Oh, just a few.  Each year as I am cutting down the dried-up, finished marguerites I think, "do I really need all of these?" But they do make such nice swathes, an excellent backdrop for the lupins and foxgloves. And then when I do cut down the daisies, I discover a whole other garden underneath them. These ones are just getting to that droopy stage that says I've got about another week before that transformation needs to happen.
Daisies plus cranesbill
Daisies plus ceanothus and snapdragon and lady's mantle
Daisies plus catmint plus foxglove plus hose
Hmmm, no daisies, but quite a tummy!
Oh yes, life is gooooood.

Oh my word--I have to make another comment because the next Word Verification word is slypaw. A Harriet word!
