Very tiny daisy plants!

Very tiny daisy plants!, originally uploaded by Our Enchanted Garden.

Here's a good view of sprouts of tiny daisies. These may not even flower this year, we'll keep an eye on them to see how they do. I planted these at the base of our mailbox post, they grow short enough to not interfere with anyone using the mailbox.
In the photo's caption I wrote, "The little red stones in this shot are no bigger than 1/4" or 6.5 mm. Wild daisies grow well in gravely soil."
The shot was taken during our january thaw. Currently there is little activity as the outside temperatures have been colder than they were in January. Once this cold snap moves further east I'm certain the plants will take off very quickly.
Here's another shot of a bigger daisy plantlet that also gives a size reference, the seed packet - the daisy is diagonally to the right of the package;


And to follow that, here are some lucky daisies I found in the lawn. These started from seeds dropped from plants in the nearby beds. The reason they're lucky; because now that I've found them I can gently move them to another more suitable location if I want to save them for flowering specimens, I can pot them up to sell in a spring garage sale or I can just toss them, getting them out of the lawn area. I like the look of daisies scattered around my yard - BUT, not in the lawn!

There are so many options available to gardeners! I have many plants, in addition to daisies that reproduce in this manner!
More information and photographs will follow as our garden's spring story begins in earnest!
