Very beautiful, my friend! Thanks for sharing 👍

That has a cool looking bloom! Now you have an operational greenhouse, you could potentially overwinter it

I believe this will see off a light frost or two, but not much more.. I think I may have to bring in the house!

I have one in my tropical border think they’re lovely. Did have one in a pot about 4 years ago which survived 3 winters but lost it last winter

@daphneking3954 I have 3 clumps dotted about, so I will see if any do. Lovely flowers, when they open lol

I've heard of gazania before. That is one cool looking bloom. Too bad it's not cold hardy.

[@GrowTropicalMK]

Unfortunately, so! I believe you can collect the seeds, though, so I will be looking to do that.

[@Palmguy24]

@GrowTropicalMK Well that's easy enough. Kinda like zinnias. Cool!

[@NinjaTeaDrinker]

Very nice flowers, but extremely stubborn about opening!

[@GrowTropicalMK]

Haha yeah you are not wrong, since filming this a few hours back they have all closed!
