The Gerbera daisy, also called the African daisy, is a genus of ornamental
plants from the sunflower family. It is the fifth most popular cut flower in the
world and comes in many colors which, besides being attractive to humans,
are popular to bees, butterflies and birds.

your own to take part!

ReplyDeleteThese Gerbera daisies are certainly showy - especially in a large field with all their brilliant colors!

My son and daughter-in-law left these all about the house in West Sacramento for me the week I was house and granddog sitting while they were in Hawaii!

I think that beautiful two tone color is the main draw of the Gerbera daisy. It is incredible, isn't it?

I'm glad you enjoyed my photography. It is sad those flowers are so short lived, even if you change the water daily.

I don't like light pastel pinks but I do like hot pinks like these Gerbera. I've never been a pastel girl.
