I spotted these yellow orange Gazania blooms while walking around town this weekend. Originally from South Africa, these daisy like flowers are drought tolerant, which make them a great choice for ground cover in San Diego. They’re not supposed to bloom until spring, but the weather here has been so dry and warm, these flowers are blooming now, in January. There’s something really wrong with that, but it was great to see these bold colors popping out of the ground. Enjoy!

Spectacular flowers – daisies on steroids!
Haha, that’s a good way to describe these flowers!
Such pretty sunny colors!
They sure are colorful!
Very pretty! I love the colours.
Thank you very much!
Great colours (colors?) – these picture have a real punch.

These flowers sure grab your attention.
I looooove these! Beautiful, strong, sharp, fragile….colors are the best!
I was glad to see them bloom so early in the year.
“the weather here has been so dry and warm”—Funny, we don’t seem to have that problem in Ohio. 😉
I know, it sounds good but it’s terrible. This is our 5th year of drought. We just don’t get any rain and are under a red flag warning for wildfires, something that’s not supposed to happen during the “rainy” season. I’ve been here for 15 years and the landscape dries up so much every year, it’s getting to look really ugly.
You’re right. We need the rain to reap the benefits.
Gorgeous blooms! Thanks for brightening my Monday!
You’re welcome. I figure a few people could use the bold colors this time of year.
Almost like a sculpture.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to comment.
