| A daisy of some kind |
And then, as soon as I hit the apartment, I spent some time making myself a delicious salad for lunch, ate it, and picked up my latest book and completely forgot about the post. As I finished the book just in time to dash out the door to our monthly WAHA meeting (Whatcom Alliance for Health Advancement, where I do my volunteer work), I remembered.
So here I am, back home after the meeting and writing a quickie to assuage my guilty conscience. Why is it so important to me to keep to a schedule? After all, I'm the one who made it up. I figure it's because I like deadlines, whereas most people really don't. Especially when those deadlines don't matter, I'm happy to slip myself into my imaginary timetable. So here's the other picture I took. Are these really daisies? Does anybody know?

I would definitely vote for the daisy family. Pretty whatever their name.
ReplyDeleteFurther thought suggests galliardia (blanket flower) which is daisy like but belongs to the sunflower family.
I am a fan of routine myself. Which I suppose means that I am happy with some deadlines.
I don't know what these flowers are but they sure are pretty! Thanks for sharing your photos.
ReplyDeleteI believe that are Gazanias.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful whatever they are!
ReplyDeleteWhatever they are, they're beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a deadline person. I'm a procrastinator. Lots of times it's not fun to procrastinate.
ReplyDeleteThey are Gazanias! And pretty ones too, they close up at night and open during the day. They are a good plant for hard to grow spots:)
ReplyDeleteI'm not big on deadlines and as you could tell by my jungle post, I can procrastinate with the best of them.
ReplyDeleteLove those flowers--hope you get a positive ID.
Lovely flowers, whatever they are called. I blog every other day, so I am not on specific days. Seems to work for me.
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of Gazanias. They are beautifully perky!
ReplyDeleteI do self-imposed deadlines, too. Just feels good when you meet them and they don't have the pressure outside deadlines do. ;)
Sometimes the only way I can get a tedious chore out of the way is self-impose a deadline. I am rather fond of my routines though.
ReplyDeleteThose are gorgeous flowers - but I'd never heard (or seen) of them before.
What unusual flowers! They’re gorgeous! Wouldn’t you know Linda would know what they are. I am always amazed at her knowledge of all the flora around you. I need a deadline and schedule too. I feel like it’s good for my brain and I like to be organized.
ReplyDeleteI think the flowers are ...heck, I can't think of their name. It starts with a G. lol
ReplyDeleteI like the idea that the flowers are smiling at you.
ReplyDeleteThey are daisies on steroids. Our garden is drying up, but I still have a few things. I just picked a tiny cucumber. And there's still a few tomatoes and jalapenos. We're still enjoying blueberries from our farm visit. All is good I guess. I fear I missed buying a huge bin of cheap, late season tomatoes to freeze. Time will tell...
