These flowers say September to me more than any other flower. I started with one little plant, but following the advice in my Lazy Gardening book: reward plants that flourish with more of the same, I now have three large clumps. I'm not sure what I love most about them.
They--
- look like daisies
- have wonderful brown centers that rise out of the center into great, prickly cones
- multiply and flourish through benign neglect
- add a sizzle of yellow that's probably visible from space
- age gracefully, oh so gracefully
I love them too.
