Great Gerbers!

After all the complaining I’ve done about my gerbers I’m pleased to report that we’ve had a pretty good spell.

It started with some white gerbers on the deck,

and a lovely orange gerber by the garage.

Closely followed by a few yellow blossoms.

I take far too many pictures of each flower, hoping for the exactly right combination of light and shape and luck.  Some pictures are keepers and some get deleted right away.

After the yellow gerbers the scarlet flowers started blooming—and this plant was obviously determined to outperform the rest.  It had four (that’s 4!) blossoms at the same time, and has 3 new buds now!

I’ve also had some lovely pink flowers—like the amazing resurrecting gerber I posted about last week.

And most recently, a salmon colored gerber.

I still have 3 plants that haven’t bloomed, but I’ve sure been enjoying those that have!
