Daisies are my favorite flower! They are so unassuming, yet bright and welcoming. Okay, maybe a plant can’t actually be these things, but daisies make me feel this way when I am in their presence. This daisy is a Blackfoot Daisy, officially named Melampodium leucanthum. This one is young; blackfoot daisies get to be six to twelve inches tall and twice as wide. They have eight to ten white petals with a bright-yellow disk center. These particular daisies smell like honey! They live in the Southwest, mostly in plains and meadows. Can’t wait to go back to Wild Basin and watch this daisy grow!
