I live to the south of Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire. Somewhat overcome by the work needed in the garden, I share bits of it! Twitter @oldgreyheron

My very late planted pots on the patio are being encouraged by the #sunshine and #warmth. The first gazania has opened today.

I think that the gazania have scraped into my #favouriteflower top place this year because of their #brightcolours, #symmetry, and attractiveness to #insects!

Speaking of #colourcoordination that #gazania looks great against the blue flowers in the background.

At risk of boring everyone, this is the first yes for ages that I've planted gazanias and I'm very impressed with the at they open and close their flowers with the sunshine.

Lovely do they all gazania open and close with the sun?

Ok the predictive text did silly things 😕. The "yes" is "year", and "the at" is "that"! To answer your question @rxsie , all of mine do exactly that, or at least with "brightness".
