Daisies everywhere..

During this time of the year whole Datca peninsula is covered with daisies.In 15 days time another color will be added to this white and yellow symphony. Red of the poppies.




Apart from filling all the vases in so many houses, they are also filling many stomachs in this part of the world. One of my favorite salad of this season is made from daisies. Receipe is very simple: Collect the stems of the unflowered daisies. Boil them and after they cool add lemon, garlick and olive oil. Just yummy....

  9. And all of these gorgeous flowers free from nature! In Armenia the hills are covered with wild flowers like this - stunning. And all the fresh spring herbs are wonderful and you know they grow in clean air and have not been sprayed with chemicals.

    Never heard of the salad of the stems of daisies, but there is so much more good to eat than many of us know. So many of us get our food from supermarkets only. Very convenient, but we do miss out on some good stuff!
