I don't often go for clashingly contrasting colours in my garden but I like this jolly little pot of violas and Osteospermum jucundums (African Daisies). The orange
Osteospermum jucundums actually survived outside, in a pot, unprotected, throughout last winter and I never expected it to keep on going. So, I planted a tray of pretty, multi-coloured, violas around it expecting the Osteospermum to die off, but it didn't, and it's orange, bright orange. I think it deserves to live and they all look rather jolly together in the one container.
