Hi Westraad !

Nice to meet you in cyberspace. I'm curious about that fruit salad joke you have with the other ladies. :)

I read that you are asking about gerbera daisies. In Tagaytay City, there is a place called The Flower Farm ( owned by a friend) and it produces gerbera daisies for export. You can go to their website ...The Flower Farm...and see the many lovely gerberas they produce. They use Dutch technology in their many greenhouses ( so maybe Dutchlady1can give you tips on how to make your plant bloom.:)

I just happen to have whimsically planted a couple of them in my garden to see if they would thrive without the same technology. Without much ado, they are indeed somehow thriving. Here's a picture of one that has produced a white flower. Now that I know they can bloom in my garden, I intend to plant as many as I can and see what happens!
