I’m making table decorations with these bellis daisies. They look just right for Christmas. And they last about two weeks in a vase, or jam jar in my case. Great for making ahead-so that I can concentrate on all the last minute cooking and present wrapping. They are another kind of messy flower that I love. The variety name is Pomponette, and Mum grew these for us to share. One packet of seeds makes about 100 plants. Great value for just a few pounds. Enjoy your weekend, all of you. x
You can also find my ramblings on twitter @kgimson and also on instagram at karengimson1.
Another lovely flower. xx

I was straight onto eBay looking for the seeds, Karen! Were these from a mixed packet? Have you tried the Tasso variety which also look very striking? I have never even been tempted by bellis before but these have definitely changed my mind, particularly with them lasting so long when cut. Have a good w/e – good gardening weather 😀

Hi Cathy. Yes mum has grown those too. They look just like miniature pin cushions. Very pretty and flower all winter. The petals are quilled and rounded more than the Pomponette. I love Tasso pink. Here’s the link for ours. http://www.thompson-morgan.com/flowers/flower-plants/perennial-and-biennial-plants/bellis-pomponette/p93107TM?source=google&gclid=CInUv6u76dACFUUcGwodYLENxQ Very Hardy, and great for jam jar flower arrangements. Have a great weekend. Karen
