One spring we were touring the Buchart Gardens in Victoria, BC (FABulous place!!), and there were 2 elderly ladies in front of us on the path, strolling along arm in arm, admiring the plantings and flowers. Next to the sidewalk was a large bed of these on the side of a hill and the strollers stopped. Now--you MUST imagine a very plummy, proper British accent and impeccable diction here-- "Oh, look! Button daisies!!" Since that day, I can never see these without hearing that, and thinking of them as button daisies, because isn't that the most perfect description??

Yes, perfect. Sweet little buttons. Although it reminds me of the end of a movie where the old senile lady is feeding the baby alligators and calls them that. Anyway, that last one is nothing short of perfection. Love the detail.
I can hear that accent! Too cute! They certainly DO look like little buttons. Your macro shots never cease to amaze me!
Love these! Never seen these kind of flowers before. LOVE the 2 close up shots :)
love that last one! oh, the detail, the detail! you capture it beautifully.
have fun with you dd. i remember how much my mom helped me out when my own kids were 2, 1, 0, and 0. i'm sure you are much needed! you will be missed....
You take the most gorgeous macro shots! These are just stunning!
Those little daisies are wonderful. I love the pink. I also have to say how lucky your daughter is that you are taking time away to come help her. I am sure your little grandchildren love their Nana!
Such unique little flowers...ones I've never seen until your blog just now. I feel for your DD too...16months is a heavy one to carry around. My DS didn't walk until 15.5 months and my brother didn't walk until 18mo. Tell her to hang in there.
These are beautiful! I just love the pretty pink color and detail you captured! Butchart Gardens is one of my most favorite place in the world, my dh and I like to go as often as possible.
Have fun with your grandbabies and how nice of you to help your dd! :)
