Smooch

The sun came out today for about twenty minutes, which was just enough time to snap a picture of this new gazania (gazania blooms close at night, and when it's cloudy). This is 'Big Kiss Yellow Flame' one of two new gazanias for 2010, the other is 'Big Kiss White Flame'. The 'Big Kiss' series is slightly bigger than the regular 'Kiss' gazanias which we have grown for many years. Gazanias have a mounded habit (10 - 12" round), and are great for that hot dry spot in your garden. They look great, we think it's neat that they open and close, the only drawback to them is that unless it is sunny, you can't see them! Click on the image for a great looking full sized pic.
