The orange Gerbera daisy lasted weeks.  There was a new bloom–bright orange.  The old one stood erect–petals and all.  The only thing that faded was its color–now pale-white pink.  I was amazed the flower lasted that long.

Our Gerbera daisy was hardy.  It has had five large pink flowers that lasted a long time–weeks.  Now the color is washing out.  One flower is almost completely white. Several times the flowers sagged.  All it then needed was a little water and the flowers perked up.  It must like the spot it was in.  And I am excited three new buds were coming up.  It was a small thing but I love looking at it every day and checking its progress.
