Day 326: The first of the Gazanias has opened and is living up to its variety name of "Sunshine." When fully unfurled, this blossom will measure three to four inches across and will stand above a twelve-inch mound of grey-green foliage. Each plant bears multiple flower heads and the "Sunshine Mix" offers a wide variety of patterns and shades. Grown from seed, Gazanias are great for fall color which continues past frost. I have had them bloom at Christmas, bright blossoms smiling above the snow. Can you find the obligatory "bug-in-the-frame?"
