March 2014
Dimorphotheca, also called African daisy, or Cape marigold, is easily found on the streets of Seoul when spring arrives in March. The flowers are planted for landscaping with many other kinds of flowers in the city. At first, I thought they are daisies. Anyway I liked their color and shape, so I bought a flowerpot from a street flower vendor. It was around 2,500~3,000 won for a pot.
I have been waiting for the buds to open, and some finally did. It is interesting the shape of petals when they begin to unfold is quite different from the matured ones. I got the feeling that the color changes day and night. Dimorphotheca needs full hot sun, so I put the pot next to the window.

The color is a bit different from yesterday's. Well, is it my camera that caused it to look different?
