These gazanias in our garden just look after themselves - and they're a riot of colour at the moment, as we enjoy the first week of spring. In the last fortnight of winter, gardens around the city are a riot of purple and orange, thanks to the hardy gazanias, which I think are also called "treasure flowers". This is an interesting shot, because you'll actually see a sheen on some of the petals on the right, almost giving them a plastic-like quality.
