The Livingstone Daisy is a family favourite. There are family photos from way back which featured these in the background. In hot weather like this they look superb.
Just to add - it's worth opening in a bigger window if you're on a fast connection.
Mesembryanthemums were one of the first flowers I grew as a child in the little patch of garden my parents gave me as my own. I've always loved them. The Bedsock calls them 'happy flowers' as they always look so cheerful and colourful. I haven't grown any for a couple of years - thanks for the reminder.
Oh dear, I've been visited by The Sock...! Don't worry, you are more than welcome.
The last couple of years have been useless for these little bedding plants. The sun and heat this year, with showers interspersed have been ideal for them.
That flower looks a bit like a floral Tequila Sunrise, and has much the same effect. I'm having trouble accessing your email, Rob. Do you want to drop me a line at v.summerley@independent.co.uk?

The are happy flowers aren't they? I can't help but smile when I see them, so vibrant and warm.
Fantastic photo :o)
That is really bright, but it is such a beautiful color!
