Description

This South African daisy has a large 3-4 inch flower. Each creamy white petal of the ray has a black triangle at its base ringed by bronze-orange. The 2 foot tall plants have silvery-gray foliage and bloom well into the fall. They close up at night. This flower is also known as 'Monarch of the Veldt' There's a profusion of new flowers until the plants are cut down by severe frost. These flowers make excellent cut flowers !! I love this in my garden & I encourage you to plant this in yours too... enjoy...

Focused and cropped to make it not just a photo of a flower, but a lively work of Art! Not that I have any thing against an unaltered image, but this pops! I would also like to thank you for the information on the plant, I often wonder about them. You never cease to amaze me with the diversity of you subjects!
