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.

They were calling for frost overnight. It was the coldest day in ten days this spring–top was the fifties. I wrapped up our “monster” cactus in paper. It took me fifteen minutes and also parked our Gerbera daisy temporarily in the garage. I was not taking any chances with both plants. It was abnormally cold today and I wanted spring to come back.

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.

My Gerbera Plant was really resilient. 
The five flowers were drooping at least twice because it needed water but perked up after I gave it water. The petals on one were languid but again perked up after, again, I gave it water. At least one night I left it outside when it was too cold but it revived when I brought it in a warmer environment. My wife got it for me. I love looking at the big flowers. I hope she found a good spot for it and it keeps shooting out new flowers. It is one hardy plant.

Yesterday the healthy Gerbera Daisy plant my wife bought for my birthday was “sagging”: all five flowers were drooping. I gave it water in the morning and by the evening the flowers had perked up. I was thrilled. I will plant it in an area it did good before. I like looking at the big peach colored flowers. It is one of my favorite daisies.

It was a small thing but it gave me joy. I moved a gerbera daisy and it responded to its new location by giving out two yellow flowers. The flowers would have shriveled up in the old location. We had another such plant and it died. Every time I look at the flowers I smile. Such a small event in my day but it gave me much pleasure.

The red Gerbera Daisy keeps putting out more flowers. I looked really carefully and noted there was a second one coming up, too. This is the first one that did not die after I bought it. Another (???) words, did not put out more flowers. A small thing but it gives me pleasure.

The red Gerbera daisy was completely unfurled in the pot situated on the corner of our driveway. I thanked God for it. And enjoyed its beauty. It was the first one we ever had who kept shooting out new flowers and did not die after I bought it home. I have no explanation for the new flowers. I wish I was that wise but I appreciated the new flowers it kept growing. Life is composed of many simple pleasures and this was one.
