2 (Flower) Heads Better Than 1 ???

I have only 1 gerbera daisy plant . . . in a pot . . . on my full-sun exposure, south front porch.  Never have I had such wonderful success with a gerbera in a container as with this one.  It has had deep green leaves and been in continuous bloom (2 or 3 flowers open at any given time) since I planted it the end of May. I always use a root start when I transplant flowers, but I don't fertilize after that.  About 3 weeks ago, I noticed the opening of an unusal flowerbud.  





It remains quiet beautiful, don't you think, even as the flower fades . . .
