Daisy Wildflower - Leeds

Daisy Wildflower Yorkshire

I love wild daisies like the one in the above picture.

I was driving along a road in north Leeds and saw a small patch of daises growing wild on the verge. I pulled over, got my camera out and here is a detail from one of those wildflowers.

Leucanthemum vulgare is its proper name but its commonly known as the oxeye daisy or marguerite. I also discovered when writing this that it is less commonly known as moon daisy or dog daisy.

  1. Great shot and so clear. The half flower holds much more interest than a full shot.
