Daisy Days: Nurturing Pollinators and Supporting Wildlife Gardens. (National Wildflower Week, May 4th-10th)
Not only is it Gardening for Wildlife Month, but today is the beginning of National Wildflower Week (May 4th-10th). So this week I will be focusing on wildflowers, starting it off with Daisies! Daisies are cherished symbols of resilience, purity, and biodiversity, making them particularly significant during Gardening for Wildlife Month and National Wildflower Week. Their cheerful blooms attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, supporting vital ecosystems. As hardy and adaptable flowers, daisies thrive in various conditions, enhancing the biodiversity of gardens and wildflower meadows. Their ability to bloom year-round in some regions provides a consistent source of nectar and pollen, especially when other flowers are scarce.

In folklore, daisies have been associated with various superstitions. For example, it was believed that if you picked a daisy petal and said, “He loves me, he loves me not,” the outcome would reveal your true love’s feelings.
So many reasons why Daisy’s are a favorite flower to many. My second favorite flower after Sunflowers! 🌻
Do you remember when you were a child and you would sit outside and pluck the petals saying, “He loves me, he loves me not?”
Love you daughter
