Kingfisher Daisies - Maree

The happy bells shall ring Marguerite;
The summer birds shall sing Marguerite;
You smile but you shall wear
Orange blossoms in your hair, Marguerite.
- Thomas Bailey Aldrich



Felicia amelloides, Blue Marguerites, or Kingfisher Daisies, call them what you like, these beautiful little indigenous South African daisies provide colour and light-up the winter landscape like no other. Mine are just starting to flower now, as it's getting cold enough, and I just absolutely love picking bunches of these tiny flowers and displaying them in my toothpick holder!
