Colourful Friday

I have linked this post, with a photograph of a potted gerbera which flowered last month to Daisy Quilts Colourful Friday, Red and Green Together.  Thanks Robyn for the challenge, would have been a great theme around Christmas!
I have had mixed success with the gerberas, the red one being the only one that flowered this year.
Hmmm.

  5. Thanks for all the lovely comments. And yes this is a stunning red gerbera, unfortunately it spends most of the year being green! Toni, I've come to believe that gerberas are full of surprises, and I no longer have high expectations of them!

  8. I love Gerberas. I planted two this year and they are doing well so far.

  9. I think I've got it figured out with gerberas, the secret must be to plant many plants of the same variety AND colour if you want a mass of flowers. I say this because now that the red one above is well and truly dead and gone, I've got a yellow one just in bud.
    Then again, a potted single gerbera in flower is also stunning.
    Carol good luck with your new gerberas, thanks for dropping by.
    Thanks too, Tracey.
