My first baby !

I'm not sure if it's a boy or a girl yet, but my first gazania grown from seed has flowered.

You've cloned yourself, nice one

 

haha Zigs! Nice Gazania, now if only we could get these to survive the winter! Make sure to care for it over winter, and sow some grandchildren

 

What a pretty flower.

 

I grew some gazinas from seed this year I got about 8 good plants an one flowerd the other day ! I was absurdly happy

 

It is a lovely flower, well done Gazania!

 

Hi Stephen, do you think I will be able to collect seed from these gazania's ? When and how ?

Are gazanias not hardy perennials?

I sowed some seeds a couple of months back but are still quite small. Cant see me getting anything from them this year. Where I tore open the packet I removed the bit that says annual, perennial etc. They`re just listed as mixed F1 hybrids.

 

Pamsdish put me on to this site the other week. http://theseedsite.co.uk/

Don`t know if you`ve seen it or not but it may help.

 

That flower that you posted is absolutely stunning! It looks painted, but it's not! Congrats on your new bundle of joy. I hope you have many happy times ahead.

 

That is a website I am going to find so useful, thanks
I planted and raised my seeds in a greenhouse. Thay are quite large planted out now. Strangely out of 20-30 buds that is the only bud to have flowered. I'm hoping we get a bit of sun on Sunday and my gazanias and straw flowers open as a result. The straw flowers begin to open then close up shop every night.

Baby gazania got a little brother or sister today. We had a bit of sun for a change and this made an appearance. Maybe I'll see a lot more now we are promised a bit more sun ?
