Argyranthemum Red : Autumn morning . . .

Argyranthemum is a mound forming tender perennial, perfect for growing in bedding displays, containers and the cuttings patch. Plants bear masses of fragrant, chrysanthemum-like flowers over a long season, attracting a wide range of insects. Members of this genus are sometimes also placed in the genus Chrysanthemum.

 

Argyranthemum ‘Meteor Red’ has pretty red-pink flowers in contrast with silver-green leaves. It’s perfect for growing as a focal point on its own in a container or as part of a bedding display. A tender perennial, take summer cuttings or move pots indoors to overwinter, or treat as an annual.

 

Captured this one at Beasley's Nursery using my Sony mobile phone on a cold, overcast, autumn morning. The petals were still wet with morning dew. In the midst of COVID-19 pandemic self isolation and social distancing, hope that this image can bring some joy / relief to Flickr friends.
