    Very colorful! Right now, I have only to go out in my yard- I have red & pink azaleas blooming, and so far about 50 irises, purple & 2-tone purple, white,
    yellow, etc. I love spring! (I also planted 35 tomato plants of various kinds this year...) I have many redbud trees in my yard that only just finished blooming too.
    I love the way things "take turns" blooming in my yard. The daffodils are always first, & later when it warms up, I have many patches of orange daylillies. Also
    a number of flowering crepe myrtles (tall shrubs) in various colors too. :D

    Thanks everyone
    The Cape daisy is it's common name and originate from South Africa. And here they are all classes as bedding plants like geraniums, but there are a few hardy varieties of osteospermum which are winter Hardy to - 8/9 which come thru our UK winters no problems and don't stop flowering all summer, they not quite as bright coloured but still love the sun, they close up at night and reopen come morning, I've attached a photo

    There are some paler pink ones too, really easy to take cuttings from, and the Hardy type have areal roots so can be removed and divided quite easily https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4c15651495.jpg

    I've had a new phone Huawei p20pro, I'm so pleased with the quality pics it's takes, still trying to get used to the settings
    These was taken with the Pro setting
