    I've wondered what these flowers are for a while, 3cm diameter little pom poms. Today someone asked me what they are, so it seems others want to know too. I found only one similar photo in a search, calling them pom pom mums, but I think if that was right, wouldn't there be more than one photo? Does anyone have the name? Thanks.

    Thank you! I've heard that name, but not enough to learn it. And now that I look, yes there are a lot more photos of these with that name. But what surprises me so much is all the daisy-looking photos that have that name as well. I see on britannica.com - Daisy | plant that Bellis perennis is the English, or true, daisy. Certainly seems to be a name I should learn.
