This is a lovely yellow gerbera. It blooms well with strong straight stems and seems to flower all year round - only minor issue with the flower is that sometimes the petals drop out. It is one of our consistent bloomers.

This flower is one of our most prolific and consistent bloomers at Gough Hill Farm. Enjoy.

My favourite gerberas

just picked gerberas from Gough Hill Farm - March 2007

Having our own gerbera farm has its special benefits. I love picking the flowers. These are some from my regular picking patch. I love the unusual pinky/orange colour and they tend to have consistently good blooms.

Unusual Gerbera




Nature does strange things. No doubt this plant was derived from an orange flower and a yellow one. Just one plant in the row would produce these unusual flowers with several petals of a different colour.

We do think Nature is perfect, but sometimes it is perfectly unpredictable. I enjoy finding some of the flowers that Nature has had some quirky fun with.

Frog in a Gerbera


One of my favourite Gerbera photographs is this one. One early morning I was picking flowers and came across this tiny frog sitting in the flower. I quietly back pedalled and ran to my car to get my camera. I was somewhat amazed when the frog was waiting for me when I returned.
It sat then while I took the photo. The flower wasn't ready for picking, so I left it and I noticed later that it had disappeared.
