Arctotis

A little more rain today and lovely cool weather. I love working in the garden in the evenings, but so do the mosquitoes. I perservered and planted 21 burgundy arctotis cuttings along my neighbours driveway at the edge of our garden. I hope they will expand and hold back the soil so I can remove the loose laid bricks from along the edge as they keep falling onto the driveway. Arctotis are so hardy, flowering for many weeks, and these burgundy flowers look stunning against the silver leaves. I also have yellow, cream, pink and orange ones, but I love the burgundy ones best.
