Gazania Opening

For the first few days after the buds open they look like this. Once they open fully, they close down like this again every evening. I’ve never noticed this in the outdoor gazania even since I’ve been looking.

They are gorgeous flowers. I am amazed how well they grow here on the beach in pure sand.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

It's fun to see them close up that way and then without anyone telling them to, open up with the sun. Nice shot!
