Beautiful! I love the Ox Eye Daisies..they are lovely for pollinators and they grow all over the grass verges along the main road into Torquay. Last year, the council in its wisdom, mowed them all! ( I cried!) I’ve just grown a load of wild flowers from seed, ready to share amongst the gardeners in the family. Have a great weekend! 😁
