Psychedelic Daisies

This shot is of some of my favorite flowers, Cone Flowers. I love how trippy they are! It’s as if God said, LET THERE BE PSYCHEDELIC DAISIES…and there was. You know how it goes. I’m sure it in the bible somewhere.
I shot these awesome “Crazy Daisies” at the Botanic Gardens back in 2007. I wish they didn’t attract bees, cuz I would totally have some in my yard. Being that I was stung by wasps on both cheeks (the face people…the cheeks on my face) when I was about 6, and having my cheeks each swell up to the size of regulation size softballs, I have lived my life in deathly fear of any of those buzzing, flying, stinging things. P.S. – my skin is crawling just writing about this. Ahhhhh!
Being 6 and having your face look like an inflated Macy’s Thanksgiving Day parade balloon is enough to send any person running for the hill for all of eternity when they see one of those things. And the pain, the pain! Anyway, the point I was trying to make is that I have a rule about plants in my yard, “If it attracts bees, dig it up please.”
