Seen blooming in May in Plaza Blanca Several species of Townsend Daisy can be found growing in our area. They are sometimes called Easter Daisies because they bloom around Easter time. Stemless Townsend Daisies grow in a low growing clump with slightly hairy, narrow, grayish leaves. Flowers are white to pinkish and one inch across often with a darker pink stripe on the back.

AuthorI am Marilyn Phillips, a native of England, whose love of nature and the outdoors from childhood brought me by a circuitous route to Crested Butte, Colorado in 1993 and 16 years later to northern New Mexico. My exploration of the many trails in these areas, my interest in wildflowers and photography, and career in computer system design came together in this creation.
