Gazania “Bridget” taken in Logan Botanic Garden, Dumfries and Galloway. South Africa in Scotland? Now that’s surely a contrast.

I have lived in the UK for most of my life, but when young I definitely had wanderlust and even ended up living in South Africa for several years which was a wonderful experience. I now look forward to a long and leisurely retirement doing what I like most - gardening, photography, walking and travelling.

Fantastic flower and yes, the contrast is pleasing. The centre of the flower looks like an afterthought–those white dots–an added something because the artist enjoyed painting this one. Ha. Imagine that.
They always remind me of those kaleidoscopes we used to look through when we were children. And those white ‘dots’ look very much like tiny hearts if you look closely. Nature is amazing.
God’s paintbrush at work. 🙂
Love the flower Jude. Wow I have never seen anything like it.
They are very interesting flowers – they only open when the sun shines – so mine (not as gorgeous as this one) is tightly closed at the moment.
Sounds like they are shy little flowers Jude. 🙂
Like many South Africans, they just love the sun 😀
Lovey, Jude. I’ve never seen one of these.

This is so gorgeous, Jude. i love the tiny white hearts. 🙂
Aren’t they sweet?
It’s also a cracking shot, Jude. We brought some lovely pink Nerines home from the Logan when we were there, more than 15 years ago. Reminds me of the holiday every year when they flower. 🙂
Nerines remind me of the Cape too. They are gorgeous flowers. I will do a post on Logan, it is an amazing garden, so unexpected!
What stunning colours, detail and contrasts. It brightens up a rainy Warsaw day. Thank you.
It’s a beauty isn’t it? Immediately takes you to a hot, sunny climate 🙂
It was worth ‘clicking to enlarge’. Great stuff Jude!
Regards as always, Pete. x
Thank you Pete 🙂
Wow…beautiful contrast. Love it 🙂 xx

Found it, but I haven’t been here before??? Weird!
I rely on the WP Reader to visit posts but I do miss some so it’s not all that reliable.
