Osteospermum

Day 247:  I do not ordinarily buy bedding plants, preferring to start my own from seed; however, when I went past the outdoor garden shop in McKenna yesterday on my way to the Chehalis-Western bike trail, a sign which said "African Daisies 2/$3" convinced me to stop on my way home. I half-expected them to be in two-inch pots because nothing is that cheap nowadays. I figured the price was a lead-in to what I presumed were more expensive plants, the ones I could see from the roadway. I was surprised to find four-inch pots lavishly filled with blooming Osteospermum at the advertised price. I probably should have bought four, but I limited myself to two. Showcased here in my yellow lawn chair, they are now in the ground.
