Ox-eyes


Ox-eye daisy - Leucanthemum vulgare

The original "he loves me, he loves not" daisy. The name daisy is derived from 'Day's Eye', so called because of the flowers habit of closing at night and opening with the daylight.

This study was done on location in a wonderful private Warwickshire semi natural meadow in May 2011.
