Still Hanging On




This gerbera daisy is still hanging on.
It hasn't gotten the message that it is winter
and it's COLD!




Gerbera



"Flowers are those little colorful beacons of the sun from which we get sunshine when dark, somber skies blanket our thoughts." 
~Dodinsky


 Wishing YOU well and much joy.

    Those gerberas do hang in. Mine were still blooming, too, up until last week when the frost finally got them. They are happy little flowers.

    Persistent indeed. I love gerberas and used to plant them here too but the earwigs also love them and I don't love earwigs. :) Have a great day!

    It only takes one little flower to bring sunshine into our lives.
    I'm amazed your gerbera has survived the cold of winter Snap - a brave one indeed!

    That's a very persistent gerbera. I have a vase full in my house, but they were purchased at the store. Still, they've lasted more than 2 weeks and are still lovely. Flowers are so cheery.

    I'm sorry it's taken me awhile to visit this week, Snap. That flower must be pretty hardy! Talk about the expression, "Bloom where you're planted."
