The warm Perth climate and ridiculously poor coastal plain soils are somehow just perfect for these flowers that come out in profusion every spring and stay throughout summer/autumn as long as there is full sunlight.
I have about five varieties of them but this may just be my favourite.
How many different colours can you count?

Ahhhh… that would be a ‘Gazania’ 🙂 – it’s a genus of the Asteracea (Aster) family of flowers. Native to S Africa and also my country of Aus and are grown also in California – they love the sun. Not sure of this exact sub-branch name, possibly Gazania Regis – i have a few of those but only one that looks this colourful. How many colours did you count?
