Welcome to another Mosaic Monday. I was leaving a comment on Karen's blog, A Scrapbook of Inspiration, last week, and she asked the question "What is your favorite flower?"
For me, that is something of a difficult question. ;)
Now you all know that I take way too many flower photos, and it's really hard for me to choose just one favorite. But I have to say that the daisy is one of my favorites for very sentimental reasons. As many of you already know, our Little Red House is my childhood home. When I was little, it was surrounded on three sides by meadows, which were filled with daisies in late spring. One of my fondest memories is of picking armloads of daisies with my mother, to fill her many pitchers around the house. So they really speak to me of warm spring days, filled with sunlight and laughter.
What favorites fill your mosaic this week?

Hi Mary. Oh how I love daisies, especially this time of year. I'll soon be heading to the Sierras where Shasta daisies bloom en masse. Thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs with us and Happy Mosaic Monday! ~Arleen
ReplyDeleteOoooooooooooh that is so pretty!

Mary, this speaks straight to my heart, I wore a garland of daisies in my hair when I married. They're lovely, lovely, loverly. I think I'm really going to enjoy this meme!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love all types of daisies. I am so excited of this new found meme, and I am getting good at photo mosaics. I even gave one fellow blogger the link you gave. So here I am with my second entry. Have a great week!

Hi Mary! What a beautiful mosaic! I love daisies, too. You have such wonderful memories of them. For me, it's petunias and my grandmother's front porch! Isn't it amazing how flowers can have such strong connections wiht our childhood? Happy MM...Debbie

Daisies are so cheery and refreshing! Love them. Beautiful mosaic as usual!
ReplyDeleteI Love your post this week. Daisies are one of my favorite flowers.. Growing up, I too was surrounded by fields of daisies. Thanks ~ Robyn
ReplyDeleteHi Mary, thank you for hosting another Mosaic Monday, your daisies are gorgeous what wonderful memories you have, happy MM, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteI can't even imagine how gorgeous it would be to have fields and fields of daisies like that. gorgeous. great mosaic
ReplyDeleteMary, I LOVE daisies. They are just the happiest flower. I think that's why my husband married me. When we were dating, he brought me daisies once, and I told him I'd rather have daisies than roses (he knew a cheap date when he met one!). He still brings me daisies. Your mosaic is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for hosting Mosaic Mon. laurie
ReplyDeletesuch a great flower to display in your mosaic...and with great sentimental value.
ReplyDeleteOh... your mosaic is really a delightful treat for the eyes! The daisies look so sunny and sweet!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job!!

ReplyDeleteFantastic idea, congratulations
Have a fantastic Monday
There is a real sense of happiness in this mosaic of daisies.
ReplyDeleteYour daisies are beautiful Mary! I linked my day lily mosaic. ☺ Diane
ReplyDeleteI cannot pick a favorite, anything, really. My love for nature just "is" - but daisies, oh the simply beautiful daisy, win my heart. Thanks for sharing this....
ReplyDeleteHere in VT, I'm just beginning to see my sweet little daisies everywhere. If I must choose, yes, my favorite would be daisies and the like.
Of course, the Johnny-Jump-Ups and the Forget-Me-Nots are way to the top of my list also ♥
Thanks for hosting. I am enjoying learning different ways to make interesting collage.
ReplyDeleteLove the daisies. I posted about some recently (May12).
Happy Monday,
Candy
Daisies are so comforting. They scream cottage garden.
ReplyDeleteI am posting a Monday Mosaic for the first time today. Thanks for hosting!
I am loving these mosaics. I truly think they would make beautiful note cards.
ReplyDeleteI have one today on our weekend, featuring Flag Day!
Daisies are one of my favourites as well! Also Brown-eyed Susans - I have many sweet memories of gathering them on Island country roadsides with my mother.
ReplyDeleteHappy MM Mary and thanks for hosting.
Blessings,
Kathie
Beautiful! I had no mosaic in me this Monday...am hoping for one next week;)
ReplyDeleteThat center daisy is a beauty! Love this mosaic!
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful mosaic! It is so serene looking and just shouts out to all of us as a reminder that we should be "taking time to stop and smell the daisies". I love daisies and your posts showcases them wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say how much I appreciate you hosting Mosaic Mondays - Thank You.
ReplyDeleteOh these are beautiful! I used to hate daisies. I think it was the fugly bridesmaid dresses we wore, blue dotted swiss overlay with daisies. Daisies in the bouquets...
ReplyDeleteNow I love them. I don't think anyone over the age of 6 should wear them on their clothing. ;)
I love daisies, your pictures are gorgeous! I enjoy your Mosaic Monday's, thanks so much for hosting. Always fun!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mosaic featuring daisies ... a flower I've not tried to grow myself but might consider one day. The beautiful landscapes interspersed set the daisies off beautifully. Love the misty views and reflections. I look forward to visiting everyone's mosaics this week ... after I create another for my Small Reflections blog this morning. ;--)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,
thank you for letting me play along....this has been fun !!
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful Mary. Daisies are such cheery flowers. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteNow I am in a hurry for my daisies to bloom. They are one of the flowers I paint the most.
ReplyDeleteI think daisies are so sweet! Thanks for hosting Mosaic Mondays...a great way to start our week.
ReplyDeleteYou perfectly rendered the pastoral atmosphere that suits so well to this simple flower.
ReplyDeleteMary, beautiful daisies!
ReplyDeleteOurs are in FULL bloom in our front and back yard.
Love them!
Happy Monday!

It's funny how your photo's seem to jog memories for me. Things, times, places, events and even people that I have sometimes long forgotten.
ReplyDeleteLike a beautiful song...
My camera is not good enough to enter something like this..but I love looking at your mosiac's and those of others. Just beautiful..as always!
One day...I will have a camera that gets details...:) One day..
Just gorgeous, Mary...
~smiles~

ReplyDeletejoy c.
Daisies are my favorite flower! They make me smile and they remind me of my childhood. Your photos are beautiful, Mary!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
I'd have to say they are my favorite also. Have been since childhood. I don't think there's a perkier little flower than the daisy. (I take too many flower photos myself. But then...come to think of it, I don't think you can actually take too many flower photos...)
