I'm sure this plant has a more specific name, but for now I'll just call it a Daisy... The tips of the petals turn a beautiful shade of magenta as they age.
These photos don't show size very well, but it's a small blossom, only about an inch-and-a-half across at the most.

So spring-y. Light and delicate. Superb perspective from below.
HELLO DEBORAH -- Yeah, the other part of the story is that Susie F. dumped me for an older "man" (a guy in the fifth grade)...
AND HI MINDY -- Thanks for the comment -- it's a different world down there isn't it... (I have one of those attachable angle finders for my Canon5D which makes it a little bit easier to get down low)
And by the way, EVERYBODY should check out Mindy Pines' f-StopMarin website -- there is a link in my blog sidebar. Take a look -- if you kind of like my stuff, then you'll definitely LOVE her work! She does incredible portraits and people shots -- wish I had her talent and obvious rapport with people...
