Vivid Gleeful Gazania Faces
Gazania are native to Southern Africa, now found in many parts of the world, not requiring much water these perennial plants make a cheerful addition to many gardens.
Leaves on the flowering plants vary from light to dark green, in some cases take on a light grey colour, leaves are vaiable in shape and appearance, densely clustered along the stems.
These plants are versatile, converting small areas, containers, large flower beds into a delightful colourful corner enjoying full sun. With brightly coloured flowers to attract pollinating insects, and are not threatened by common garden pests and diseases.
Gazania are drought tolerant and can grow almost anywhere. In frost regions they are grown as an annual, so they really do grow just about anywhere, not demanding much from the gardener, except to step aside and enjoy this flowers gleeful face.
This cheerful face was photographed in Northern KwaZulu-Natal in the town of St Lucia
Gazania in my garden, ideal in our clay soil and direct sunlight, open during the day, closing at night.

beautiful flowers, thanks a great deal for this. Where I stay presently is the city and you can find such beauty here
Good to hear you have flowers in the city where you live.
wow so beautiful followers and amazing photograph.
Thanks for visiting and comment @sabinaforster
Amazing flowers and so colourful Lady Joan, good luck with the contest!
Flowers always pretty, would love to see them in the wild in their thousands carpeting the veld one day.
I love nature and animals I notice very little in flowers but they are beautiful
Nature offers great beauty, free of charge.
Oh look at them they are very nice flowers. Don't pick them just leave them in the ground :)
Very seldom pick flowers, I find they last longer on the bush.
Ah, more brightly coloured photos to cheer those of us that are heading into northern winter!
Warm down here again @bengy will be visiting photo's just to cool down a bit through the next few months.
So nice, beautiful flowers
Thanks for visiting @nypho
When we see these type of flowers a flash will appear on the mind just like a one month old baby is smiling as they smile with pure heart
They make us feel warmth, joy and happiness.
Lovely capture. Such happy flowers faces.
Appreciate your visit and comment @redheadpei
Thank you for highlighting the beauty of our South African flowers.
These are fast becoming worldwide in fame, many regions finding out the low maintenance plants with splendid beauty, something we take for granted.
My Mom would be delighted to have these in her garden. Do you think they would survive a Colorado winter - fairly mild? Where could I get some of these Gazania flower plants?
By what I have read they can be used like an annual plant in cold regions, would make a pretty indoor plant in a sunny windowsill as well @deathlyhorror
