livingstone daisy

For a true challenge, try growing Livingstone Daisy from seed.  The seeds are as tiny as dust, they need to be started indoors 12 weeks before the last frost, and the soil must be kept warm with bottom heat.  When the seeds finally germinate, the tiny plants must be transplanted because they are so crowded.  The plants themselves are floppy and sparse and hard to grow.
No selling points so far.  But the flowers are shades of neon pink, orange, and yellow, with purple and white thrown in.  They open in the sun, and close overnight. 



The plant stems are sparse and floppy.
Not much to look at until the flowers pop open.
