Happy Bloom Day! Gerber Daisies are blooming again. With the slightly cooler weather and welcomed rains, my Gerber Daisies have perked up.

Hi Jackie! Beautiful blooms! It looks like some summer plants decided to give one more try and show their beauty to us. Maybe, they thank us for taking care of them?

Such lovely tropical looking blooms. I’ve always liked those little zinnias. Don’t know why I didn’t plant any this year!?

To be a south African plant, Gerbera daisies sure love cool weather, don’t they? My mandevilla is still blooming, too. I haven’t seen a single seed pod.

Looks like your garden is still going strong! I love Gerbera daisies, but I have such a hard time keeping them alive in my garden. They seem to wilt quickly with our dry heat. Happy Bloom day to you!

Love the thumbergia, but all look great. It’s fall nice in the deep South.

It sure is a year for zinnias and mine are going like crazy too. The mandevillea is pretty but it would have croaked here this week with our chilly temps.

Your Gerbera Daisies are the perfect shades for fall blooms. They are so photogenic:) Happy Bloom Day!
