That Gerbera daisy wasn’t the only thing that came home with me the other day. I also decided to take on an already-potted plant filled with white, yellow, and orange flowers – Gazanias. I had never before heard of such a thing (but then again, I’m new at this). Through the course of a normal day, it’s pretty fun to watch these flowers live out a complete daily cycle of opening and closing with their spindly petals protecting them in the nighttime. I’ve compared the look of them to a Venus Flytrap when they’re closed (maybe I’ll be able to get a shot of that sometime). But when they’re open, in the daytime, they look like this:
waking up…
almost there…
awake!

I’ve never heard of these either….very cool…I’m going to look for these around here!
A friend of mine just told me that some of these cross-pollinate on their own so you may end up with different colors. Makes them even more interesting!
Now I’m not sure whether I was confusing these and gerbera daisies. Both give a wonderful flash of color.
My gerberas are coming up with new buds. They look like they’re a pale yellow. It’ll be a nice contrast next to these bright orange beauties, if they can bloom!
