Shasta Daisy taken at the flight 800 memorial in Smithpoint NY.
The Shasta daisy (Leucanthemum x superbum) is a commonly grown herbaceous perennial plant with the classic daisy appearance of white petals (ray florets) around a yellow disc, similar to the Oxeye daisy Leucanthemum vulgare Lam. but larger. Formerly classified in the genus Chrysanthemum, these daisies were transferred to their own genus of Leucanthemum because they lack some traits of true Chrysanthemums. Shasta daisies are characterized by a distinct and unpleasant odor, which makes them unusual amongst flowers.
The Shasta Daisy originated as a hybrid produced by the famed horticulturist Luther Burbank, Leucanthemum lacustre (Brot.) Samp. x Leucanthemen maximum (Ramond) DC. Some members of the genus are considered noxious weeds, but the Shasta Daisy remains a favorite garden plant and groundcover. |

These daisies are so pretty, and I think a very cheerful flower. Nicely framed with very good detail. TFS and have a great week!
Hello Angela,
Daisies can be very difficult to photograph with their bright white petals that are so easily over exposed; but you have managed the light very well whilst retaining good details.
Nice composition.
Kind regards, from very wet England,
Bev :-)
