    Picked these up at the 99 cent store yesterday...
    No tags. Just want to make sure I know what they are.

    I would think they are a species of Chrysanthemum and there are many of those :rolleyes: In most you can not see the center and when you can it is fairly small compared to the petals.
    Daisies have a large center surrounded by large petals.

    They had racks and racks of the purple ones... some looked half dead, but lots were pretty healthy. And that's the only yellow one I could find. Figured I couldn't go wrong for 99 cents!
    And just a side note... I found the plastic pots at home depot for only 75 cents! So, for less than $2 a piece... I have a couple more splashes of color!

    Only 99 cents each? What an amazing bargain! Love the yellow one especially. :-D
