With excitement I have watched a different
African Daisy plant growing larger and it's first flower maturing from bud to bloom. The photos here trace a two week time frame.

| Next day (today) 7:30 am |
 |
| Today - the plant is thriving, rich with the promise of many more flowers. |

| Today, 9 am |
 |
| Today, 3pm - during the middle of the day the "petals" flop right back. |
 |
| Today, 5pm - "petals" now level again. |
I have found it fascination observing the differences between the African Daisies I bought together as mixed pink/purple seedlings. There are subtle differences in colours, petal shapes and sizes, centres and growth habits of the plants.
The joy of new surprises to follow each day!

WOW! Gorgeous. What a cool idea. I love that first shot.
I love your series post. This time I'm picking the 4th (next day) and 6th (4:45pm) - your skill in capturing water droplets on flowers always impresses me.
what an absolutely magical progression of shots. thank you:)
it looked sugary to start with, and the moisture was so morning perfect.
so very nice to stumble here...
I really enjoy your flower/plant series where you document growth and change. Fascinating! That is one lovely daisy. :)
Beautiful images... thanks for sharing.
The water droplets on the flower make for a lovely photograph. You captured well the speed at which a bud transforms to a pretty fresh-faced flower.
These are one of my very favorite flowers. They are wonderful to photograph, and you have done it here so beautifully!
BEE-U-TIFUL!!! You caught them perfectly!
So very beautiful! Love the color, the purple with those little orange bits, and the dew, wow :)
