Gerbera Fingers


Two weeks ago



Five days ago



Two days ago



Today!





Delicate green fingers slowly open to reveal delightful red fingers.......
Grown from seedlings, the anticipation adds to the joys.

You had me at Gerbera! I love that second one especially, the fresh green unfurling, very delicate and it's wonderful/amazing knowing what's inside!

Beautiful flowers, it is magical to take a close look isn't it?

Well done Karen. Nice progressive photos of the gerbera opening - Dave

Seeing Each Day said...

Your photos tend to make me fall in love with any flower you feature but I have to say gerberas(and hydrangeas) are at the very top of my personal list so this post is rather special - particularly fond of your 'five days ago' and your second last capture.

msdewberry said...

Awesome series of photos! I have to admit I like the back side of any flower, gerbera daisies are very pretty!

rainfield61 said...

You counted the days.

But the flower hates the numbers.

Those tiny little hairs are just delightful, something you would ordinarily miss - beautiful photos once again :)
