The fringed ends of the hybrid Shasta daisy petals shown here give these flowers the frills and flair required for standing out in this section of summer blooms. They remind me of my friend JoAnn, who hasn’t been here in about two years, but is scheduled to make a grand return in a few weeks. There is much to catch upon, and much has changed since we last enjoyed her company here. Summer is a time to reconnect, and a happy one at that. She loves daisies, and the small patch of them we have in our garden are just starting to bloom. I’m hoping they can slow down and save some smiles for when she arrives. We shall see…
