Colours Of Age

There are a couple of species of flowers out there that change colour as they age. The one in the picture is a little Seaside Daisy. IT has one of the coolest botanical names ever, Erigeron Karvenskianus! By emphasising the last part, it became very easy to remember for tests when I was studying horticulture. It can become invasive and seed everywhere in your garden, so be prepared for that. It does have this neat trick that when the little 1cm big flowers open up, they are white but as they age they turn pink. So you end up with this multicoloured flowering plant. I think cute is the best work to describe it.
