African Daisy – front yard display

March 16, 2012 by Barb 13 Comments

this made me think of Monet – I said think :)

While driving around Scottsdale I spied these African Daisies (Osteospermum). One yard was completely covered! The yards on the rest of the block had them as well, but they weren’t quite as full. In the bright Arizona sun the flowers were absolutely dazzling! Hubby had to pull a U-turn and let me get out to take the photos.

I’ve had these flowers in pots at home and love them but there are days when there isn’t enough sun for them to fully open (drives me crazy). So I was really quite blown away by this display – such wild abandon!

    When I was there the orange & yellow poppies were in bloom and they created a sea of orange & yellow..Love all that beautiful color!
