Yellow Gazania by onewing

Yellow Gazania

Earlier this month I posted a flower I didn't know the name of and was told it was a gazania. I photographed that one in a neighbours garden and have only ever seen gazania's growing wild along the waterfront and those are always yellow.

Today's flora photo is of one of the wild variety. I am amazed how these beautiful flowers grow in almost pure sand with no watering at all. Just the occasional rain keeps them going.

Thanks, I didn't know what this was either. They do tend to grow near the sand and rocks at the waterfront here. Lovely shot.
