Today's Flowers : Gazania

Gazanias are a favourite of the gardeners of the Public gardens here, because they need not be watered daily. They are happy in the blazing sun too.

On a gloomy day, their bright faces cheer the passers by.
Gazanias are native to southern Africa. They were named after the 15th century scholar Gaza.






The pink gazanias are prolific bloomers .

    Kanak, they do have cheerful faces.
    Radha, one has to look at the leaves as well as the flowers , as many flowers look similar.
    THanks, Sylvia. Hope you have a nice day.

    I agree that gazanias are pretty and reliable. Yours are particularly beautiful. I recently planted some white ones in the preschool garden (which I will feature in a post soon). They didn't do much for a few months and now, all of a sudden they are looking glorious.
