Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Comment No. 34.... I love it. You can never get a picture of these particular daisies without a bug or two on them. Their odour attracts the bugs. I planted them in my garden one year and pulled them out because they smelled so bad. If I don't hurry this will be comment No. 44!! Great image Lorraine.
7 Jul 2008 9:37pm
@Marion: That's so funny Marion, you'd still be no. 34 to me lOL love it, really it has a bad odour? I didn't know, thanks so much for the chuckle
