Yes indeed - it helped - drizzly, dark and grey here in Quebec. Thanks for the cheery picture. What are they exactly?

They are called Osteospermum. The common name is African Daisy. I have also seen them in a deep purple, lighter purple, white and apricot. Here is a picture of some I had at another house in the apricot color. The picture doesn't show the exact color. It is more of a soft orange tone. The picture looks more yellow than it really is.
