Art: Daisy Love by Artist Deanne Flouton
The daisy is a favorite of mine and the flower I chose to represent me as an avatar, although in a different form. Many daisies I have photographed in my garden, this one being the Montauk daisy which blooms into the Fall. AKA the Oxeye Daisy, it is a creeping perennial and is considered a noxious weed. 

An unusual fact about it that I learned is that the un-opened flower buds can be marinated in cider vinegar or water with lemon, sea salt, and occasionally herbs or spices and used in a similar way to capers.   Also that allergies to daises do occur usually causing contact dermatitis, another fact I did not know. 

Mostly associated with the phrase "S/he loves me...s/he loves me not", when plucking the petals, one always hopes to land on "s/he loves me"!!  

Some effects were added in Studio Artist along with the familiar text.
