Watercolor Challenge: Daisies

September 11, 2026 / Diann Zimmerman

This week, we’re celebrating the simple, cheerful daisy — a flower recognized all over the world and loved for its simple beauty.  Daisies can be white, pink. red, coral, or purple, they thrive on every continent except Antarctica, the yellow center is actually many small flowers, and their petals often close at night and reopen in the morning.
