I found these guys ( heaps/millions of them) on the side of the road today and couldn't resist making a shot clip with to share the view. Just wondering if they really are wild daisy as guessed. Also are they considered weeds and is it a good idea to plant them in the garden.
Cheers

Re: Daisy?
Hey DK, They are a type of Helianthus (sunflowers) and no they are not native... Really hardy & great additions to the garden, just unfortunate they have spread into the wild as well.

Re: Daisy?
Thank you Nathan, great to know mate. Will collect some to grow in the garden sometimes. I think these guys started from seeds that travelled with the flood water. No wonder they are growing like crazy along the creek.

Always we hope someone else has the answer.
