Good morning RO and thank you. It's a glorious day, temps way above normal. Oh happy spring :)
Gerberas are a favorite of mine too, Eileen. These will be used inside in Easter arrangements then planted outside the end of, hopefully, 'frost free' May.
I had to think about the Twain quote for awhile:) It's such a beautiful day here that I'm celebrating spring and completely forgot it was April Fools' Day.
I had to play catch-up on several of your wonderful posts... amazing as always. I do hope Spring has finally come to you and that your Easter season is full of blessings.
Thank you so much for the good wishes you left for me when I went away. I have missed your postings and wish you a very Happy Easter.
Oh Gail, thanks dear friend ... I really need 4 of me :) If you and I could combine our talents and love for family/life/gardens/photography/food/reading/writiing/travel, blah, blah, blah ... maybe it would balance out :) Happy Easter!
Delighted to hear you are also enjoying this fabulous weather, Rose. After your trip, it's especially wondrous to find gifts waiting for you at home. Finished The HELP, which was wonderful. Happy Easter!
Touched by your words, Di, thank you. You, too, have a gift and why it's such a joy knowing you. Easter blessings!
Dearest Edith, so happy to have you home after your holiday. Have 'no clue' about the Simnel cake but after research, sounds delightful, but even better shared with you! Easter blessings from my kitchen/garden to yours :)
Oh yes, I love gerberas, Rosie! So simple and fun to photograph.
Hi CVF! These gerberas are in pots, fun to use in arrangements then plunk outside either in pots or, after frost, in the garden. The rich colors excite me plus, as you can well see, love to photograph!
Gerberas are pretty, Abraham, and such stunning colors ... love 'em!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful and blessed Easter.

Hello, dear Marnie ~ I don't worry about gerberas, simply enjoy, and just go with them. If they last, they last ... if they don't, they don't :) I do hope your father is mending. Easter blessings, dear friend, a true joy to know and learn from :)
Thanks Scott ... once there, hard to leave your site but ... life goes on :)
Oh, Johnny, thanks ... just returned from your site and still dizzy :)
These are all my babies, Monica. All are inside (planted outside later), incorporated in Easter arrangements. Can you believe this weather ... but wishing temps to drop so we can enjoy glorious spring in 'slow motion' instead of 'fast forward'. Happy Easter, dear Michigan friend.
Cheers, Dirty GG, and thank you. Colorful gerbera daisies are one of my favorite flowers to shoot.
Lovely shots joey - a real visual treat.
Slugs love m garden too, EAT! I always enjoy them inside before planting outside. That way whatever happens, and they are iffy, they have been thoroughly enjoyed.
