Rain Soaked Purple Daisy

This African daisy looks good in the morning after some overnight rain.  There has been high rainfall in Sydney so far this January.  This is a welcome relief, as at the same time last year there was no rain and constant smoke from bushfires.

Flower of the Day - African Daisy

Today's flower is an African Daisy (Arctotis hybrid) from my garden. 

Two of the petals are yet to open, so the flower is not perfectly symmetrical.

Beauty doesn't have to mean perfection.

Message - Friendship and Fun

Gerberas always make me smile. This beautiful gerbera, (measuring 12 cm across!) was a gift from a friend.  I took it into my garden to photograph. Gerberas come in a variety of bright cheerful colours like crimson, yellow, pink, scarlet, orange and white.
