A Goldfinches Best Friend


The female Goldfinches loved the Gerbera Daisies once the blossoms died on the stem. Although before they died on the stem, when the blossoms were in their prime, we would catch the females sitting and picking off the petals one by one. Anyway, the seed portion of the flower exploded with silky material carrying the seeds. The finches would carry mouthfuls of the silky material away to build their nests. By the way, if you cut these flowers and vase them in the house they last a long time.
