Re: What are these called? 3Sep 07, 2008 4:09 pm No much prettier than a Dandelion!
They are a ground cover daisy. Just looking at your posts in my forum now.

By the way just so you know Dandelions are weeds…..and I tend not to cultivate weeds……..

They are also often purple in colour Mine don't have as many flowers in pic, still late winter at the time, but they are now covered in flowers like yours.

available commonly in both 175mm pots and 140mm. 140mm about 7.99 retail and 175mm about 9.99 retail. cheaper are available but not with specific variety names other than osteo. usually illegally propagated. Dead easy to do cuttings from yourself if you have some freinds or neighbors with some That's cool as long as you don't sell them. You can't kill 'em with a brick very water wise as well Re: What are these called? 12Sep 07, 2008 9:02 pm should mention to keep an eye out for the "Nasinga" osteos. These are so cool. the centre part of the petal is folded up. So the leading edge is wide and flat like normal and so is the bottom petal edge.That one mainly comes in white. They look a bit yuck in a small pot but get them in the ground and you will dead set love love 'em. An amazing flower show. Re: What are these called? 13Sep 07, 2008 9:04 pm Sea side daisies???????????
I thought they were something else. Thanks Fu Manchu….dead easy is right; I think I started with a couple of plants I know have them everywhere! They look great.

(same common names are applied to many different plants(butterfly bush is just one example)). This is now a common name for them since the seaside series was realesed some years back.

It's a very unusual way of finishing a barge board. I'd say it was done by a handyman rather than a carpenter as there would normally be the barge and a scribe and no… 3 1314 |
