Winter daisies on the west coast plains may stir memorable sensations on sunny days. Even delight a mind in need, pleasing the eye and changing the mood.
Surprise in some may concern their own capacity for still being stirred… by anything other than chores and obligations. Sensing closeness to nature may be the highlight of the day or of many days. The quiet ones in a daisy field may burst with excitement at any moment or require respectful silence to let happen what will heal.
Dimorphotheca pluvialis is but one of the plants that deliver white, yellow, or orange in profusion on these late winter plains. They remind that the earth is capable of outgardening the human effort in many ways, from the solitary, unforgettable bloom stumbled upon once in a lifetime, to endless panoramas of infinite splendour under the noses of the chronically unaware.
