They are definitely lovely. They don't look like Margaritas to me though. To me, a Margarita is a perennial (though tender) that gets about 3 ft tall, and is more of a bushy looking mound of flowers than a "carpet" of blossoms. The flower is the same, though.
We used to have Margaritas, but now I can't seem to find any. They have all these "improved" versions - and they just aren't really Margaritas. I've tried to plant some year after year, but the ones I get just aren't quite the same. If I could just find some...a cutting or two would be a start!
Actually...that should be Margarites - not Margaritas...which are more than a little intoxicating! Margarites cause an intoxication of a different sort!
Both are intoxicating, though. Although the Margueritas definitely could leave you with a headache. The Marguerites...not so much! Maybe if you have pollen allergies...
Margaret actually does have a little daisy garden. I worked in it today planting some dianthas and ageratum. The daisies did well over winter. The foliage is lust-- and covered with pine pollen.
Lovely!

I'm up for starting a margarita farm-- grow all the varieties.

ReplyDeleteNo habla Espanol. Though to tell the truth, I did wonder if I'd spelled it right!
