Moon Daisies

Edith illustrated, ‘Moon Daisies’ in her Nature Notes of 1905.

Some daisies close their petals when it gets dark or if it’s a cloudy day.  The Moon daisy is opened both day and night. From what I have seen, they appear to turn in the direction of the Moon at night so I suppose that’s where the naming convention originates.

The Clover plant

I have seen both the white and magenta coloured clovers in bloom since May.  In addition to some spring excursions, Edith also mentions seeing them on her walk, 'through Catherine-de-Barnes, Hampton in Arden, Bickenhill and Elmdon' on 25 June 1906.

I have not yet seen a four leaf clover though.  Have you?
