Visitors to this page have left the following comments| Jess | Feb 17, 2005 | I really like your online plant site. I haven't seen the rest of it but judging from this page on Medallion daisy, the info detailed here is very useful. What I would like to see more off is close ups of plant leaves to help novice gardeners like myself to easily identify plants before they flower or to distinguish between weeds and non-weeds. So far, it's been a challenge overall to find online resources that includes photos of leaves and such. Thanks again.
Thanks for your comments, Jess. It's good to hear what visitors to my site find useful and important. |

As annuals go, somewhat low germination rate. The plants set plenty of seed, so collect lots, and sow a little thicker.
