That must be how the did it. They don't look like gerber daisy or any others that I've found...exactly like white daisies that are dyed vibrant colors. I was so excited because they match the shower curtain that I just put up in the bathroom! lol They were just beautiful! I was hoping to grow them looking like that. Oh well... back to the seed catalogs! Thanks for the info! LC Grace

Oh you poor darling! How do you control yourself? I would be a screaming banshee if i had done all that work to have it all dragged out to cook in the yard. You must be a saint or something! LOL :-)---Im glad you like the sock idea. I have two dogs and both get the sock method. My oldest is a three year old Shepard mix we adopted from a shelter, her name is Mary. She will practically bring the sock to me and she always wants to go first because they get many many goodies afterward. Bribes always work :-)----Then Tigger is our little black and white boy mini schnauzer and he used to eat us up when we first got him. He just turned one in may. He did not trust us at first and if we touched him or tried to hold him he would bite us! Thank God thats over with and he is our little Velcro dogie now. Always hanging on somebody wanting to be petted. He still gets upset about getting his nails clipped but he wants the treats soooooo bad, so he is much nicer and no biting anymore just growling but thank goodness for the sock. I use an old stretched out one that the elastic is soft so as not to hurt our babies just paralyze them. HaHa Then with Mary i drape a small blankie or towel over her legs so as not to kick my eyes out because i trim them on their backs. It takes about five minutes per dog and then we have a big treat party about three treats per dog and everybody gets a new rawhide chewy afterward to go take their anxiety out on. And i keep my skin and eyes intact :) The only problem i have with Tigger now is when we go out for a potty break he tries to catch baby birds and he bite a baby robin this year and killed it. I cried. I had no idea the little bird was even in there but he knew right away and just grabbed it and shook it. It was over in an instant. I put a muzzle on him now when we go out because i dont want that to happen again. Glad Daisy doesn't hurt them thats really good just gives them a slobber bath :-) Sorry i talked your head off, I better go---------bonnie

I was just wondering because I have a couple coreopsis (kind of remind me of shastas) that have gotten HUGE in just one year, and now I have to find a new spot for them. My daylilies are newly planted double fans, some larger with all the leaves trimmed back. I know that the DL clumps multiply, I have grown them for a while now. Thats what I like about them. Nothing better than a big clump of daylilies in full bloom! I mostly have DL's in my garden, but have been planting other perennials that will bloom with them. I have mini roses, bee balm, Iris, which I will need to move in about two years, cause they are getting huge too. Well im glad you don't think that the crazy daisy will get too big planted between my DL's . They are all planted at least 18 inches apart anyway. Thanks for answering my question - Jessica

I got some replies from my cross posting. They seem to think that they must be dyed in the vibrant colors. That must be how the did it.
