Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: Pyrethrum Daisy

I often tend to post a photo of a vibrant flower when our weather is overcast and grim. However, today's forecast is for a mix of sun and clouds this morning and mainly sunny this afternoon. It's -3C right now, but it's supposed to reach 7C this afternoon. Scattered flurries tonight and tomorrow, with a few flurries on Saturday. Looks like our ridiculously mild weather has come to an end - we broke a 90-year-old record the other day, with a high of +16.4C. Crazy weather for winter in Calgary! This photo was taken on 24 June 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. I believe this flower is a Painted Daisy / Chrysanthemum coccineum. "With delicate, fernlike foliage and showy daisy-like blooms in shades of white, red, purple and pink, Painted Daisy adds striking colors to the garden." www.gardening.cornell.edu/homegardening/scenecf20.html en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pyrethrum

This photo was taken on 24 June 2015, when I called in at the Reader Rock Garden after a volunteer shift. Needed this bright splash of colour this morning, as it snowed overnight. Also, today would have been my older daughter's birthday, so I needed a bit of cheering up. This is my 'main' photo today, but apparently it isn't showing up on at least one person's Contact page. Judging by the very few views and comments, I suspect it's not showing up on anyone's Contacts page. Fickle Flickr!
