Daisy love in Spring by

  1. FLOWERS ARE ONE OF THE GREATEST INSPIRATIONS FROM NATURE!

All spring she scattered the daisy leaves;
They only mocked her as they fell.
She said: “The daisy but deceives;
‘He loves me not,’ ‘he loves me will,’
One story no two daisies tell.”
Ah foolish heart, which waits and grieves
Under the daisy’s mocking spell.

- Helen Hunt Jackson (Helen Hunt)

Every Spring I revel in the masses of daisies that appear in one corner of my garden here in Tarlton, South Africa – no matter how cold the Winter has been, they’re the first to welcome the warmer weather with their beautiful colours!

About Maree Clarkson

I am a watercolorist living on my little piece of African soil in Tarlton, Gauteng, South Africa. The inspiration for my art is the wonderfully rich variety of Fauna and Flora to be found throughout this beautiful country.

“There is a fine line between dreams and reality; it’s up to you to draw it.”
