Gerbera Daisies

My favorite flowers are not particularly rare

037

or expensive,

052

but they are unabashedly beautiful.

Wouldn’t it be great if we were all shameless in our beauty?

064

Shameless is not the same as arrogance. Do not be ashamed of your beauty.

    They are my favorites as well.  I hate it when I am watching TV and they act like the man is a fool for giving his GF or wife daisies.  They are lovely.  Who needs roses?

    Gerber daisies are one of my favorites too, they seem to be often overlooked by others for fanciers orchids or lilies.  I love their boldness and simplicity.

    Sometimes the prettiest things are the simplest ones.  That’s what makes them so refreshing.  I totally agree with your encouragement!

    they’re so dang flamboyant in their color and when you see a muted one like ‘tan’ it’s just as glorious.  🙂

    I love them too, because they look like a child’s drawing of what a flower should be.

    I think I’m beginning to learn what your last statement means.  5 years ago I didn’t believe I would love myself but it’s happening.
