Ode to a Painted Daisy

I grew up surrounded by bright flowers, my mom had a pretty cottage garden; of vibrant blooms going on all summer, my favorite was the Painted Daisy! With lovely feathery green fern-like leaves, multi-color petals and gold centers, sparkling in the sun with bright rainbow bursts; rich nectar bringing butterflies and bees! Imagine ceaseless blooms in pinks and rose, in purples oranges, yellow and white; from one glorious lovely summer plant, sublime in gardens, a vase or as dried! Oh, divine the steady stream of color, it represents many things for this girl; purity, love, energy, happiness, and joyful, boundless, endless memories!
