A Party Frock for Marguerite
Although autumn has now well and truly given way to winter here in Melbourne, there is still a great deal of colour around if you remember to take your time, stop and look around you.
Thus when I was on a walk to visit a friend of mine a few weeks ago, I went past a garden that always has a lovely show of marguerites at this time of year. Sitting the glorious sunshine that day, their pink petals reminded me of a party frock. This particular variety is quite an old fashioned double petal marguerite called "Jill's Pink".

They include African daisies, oxeye daisies and marguerite daisies. The genus is endemic to Macaronesia, occurring only on the Canary Islands, the Savage Islands, and Madeira.
