Ox-eye daisies, botanically known as Leucanthemum vulgare, grow with wild abandon in my garden, punctuating the dry grasses with deep green foliage and bright white, yellow-eyed flowers.
I do have to pull some of them or they would take over everywhere. Not a bad-looking weed, is it?

Sometimes known as Blue Corn Lily, Eristea ecklonii is a shy plant in my garden that, at this moment, is putting out lots of blossoms, but just a few at a time each day.
Truly blue and rather special, I think.
