Is there any place on Earth where the yellow daisy plant doesn't grow in springtime? If there is such a place I don't want to go there... especially in springtime.  In San Diego County these flowers are ubiquitous... along every roadway, even the freeways. There are other flowers growing here, but none catches the light in the way these beauties do.  It has occurred to me that these flowers are not the daisies that I have always called by that name; so if there is another name, and if they are not native to this area, don't tell me.
