True! I now have these pretties at home, although the flowers have already withered but the mother plants are surviving.

I bought these flowering plants together with the stargazers and mums three weeks go. And I hope it will continue to grow, multiply and give us more more blooms in coming days.

I had another encounter with gerbera daisies two weeks ago at Rustan's Supermarket. I'm glad I had my smartphone with me all the time, I can take pictures anytime, anywhere as long as I had it fully charged. :)

Gerbera daisies are beautiful flowers that I really come to love.

One of the flowering plants that I really want to have in our frontyard are gerbera daisies. The problem is where to get the seedlings! I have to do some research first and hopefully find it soon.

Meanwhile, let's take a closer look at the pink gerbera daisy that I have spotted in Rustan's Fresh Supermarket few weeks back. I'm glad I was able to take the photo even using only my mobile phone. The guards are nice enough not to call my attention.

See who will not fall in love with this flower, the color is so vibrant and refreshing isn't it?

Gerbera daisies are perrenial plants that belong in the genus of sunflower. They have large colorful blooms of yellow, pink, white, orange and red. Gerbera is also rank 5th in the most used cut flowers in the world.

Last Friday, I had a chance to visit the newly opened Rustans Fresh Supermarket in Centrio Ayala Mall here in Cagayan de Oro City, Philippines. And aside from the fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, I spotted these pretties displayed on their fresh flower stall.

Hurriedly, I went closer and took some snaps using my ever reliable smartphone Samsung Galaxy S2. The macro setting of the phone's camera did a great job in capturing these lovely blooms.

The last time I had a close encounter with gerbera was during my wedding, I had a spring inspired bouquet, and one of the flowers in the bouquet were gerberas.
