Flower photos
One of the big cranesbill-like buds finally opened... and it turns out to be a delicate mauve cup-shaped flower, and not a cranesbill after all!
The big fleshy-leaved ones are definitely Livingstone daisies, in two colours - yellow and white -- although it's taken me a week to catch the flowers actually open! Apparently they only open in direct sunlight, which we haven't had a lot of recently, and which only hits my windowsill for a few hours in the morning at best...
The tall ball-shaped buds are something else again, a handsome purple-hearted flower (seen here with 'white buttercups' and daisies in background)
Interestingly, all of these close at night, but the daisies don't.
And another one this morning; a blue bell-shaped flower that popped out unexpectedly from a single plant with long stalks and pinnate leaves that is sprawling all over the tray.
Judging by the leaves it is not a campanula.
