Today's Garden Visitor

The weather has been very warm, so not much gardening has been done, save for watering every couple of days. In the cool of yesterday evening, I  added more sugar cane mulch to the garden beds before it got dark. My reward this morning was a crimson rosella "admiring" the African daisies.

Flowering in the Garden Today - African Daisy

The osteospermums, better known as African daisies, are coming into flower again. All except one of the ten plants growing in my garden were given to me by a neighbour and I'm happy to see they are thriving. In full sun until late afternoon they are fed and watered regularly. Spent flower heads are removed to promote flowering.

Osteospermum (syn.Dimorphotheca) Shadow Red

This plant has only one flower so far.

Lots of buds on this one.
