My poor mother was so allergic to daisies, but tried so hard to be gracious and accept all of our fistfuls of flowers! It wasn't until I was older that I understood the connection to her horrible sneezing fits, and that her eyes were watering from an allergic reaction, not gratitude! LOL

I still think of her and laugh whenever I see patches of these daisies, and when my own boys troop into the house with bouquets of dandelions, clover, and violets!

Thanks for the wonderful story!

Oh, Angie, LOL... well, you know, it's the thought that counts, and I'm sure she appreciated the love in every daisy you ever handed to her!
