Purple Spoon

Walking through my garden gate, I am greeted by a happily blooming African Daisy.

I bought it last year and planted it in the raised bed circle surrounding a Strawberry tree. It was hard to choose which African Daisy to buy, as they come in such an amazing assortment of colors. This is quickly becoming my favorite because of the spoon-shaped purple petals!
