    "Once when we were wandering over the cliffs at Peterborough we noticed a little mauve and pink daisy growing in the turf. It was as short as the closely nibbled turf itself and we knelt down and dug up a small patch of it and brought it home. This we learnt was Brachycome graminea, and have since found it to be a treasure I would never like to be without."
