The name Osteospermum is derived from the Greek osteon (= bone) and Latin spermum (= seed). Osteospermums belong to the daisy family ( Compositae / Asteraceae), hence their common names: African Daisy or South African Daisy, Cape Daisy and Blue-eyed Daisy.

I didn't mean to do all flowers tonight, but I'm so taken in by them, I find it hard to resist. This has real luminescence. It glows. Wonderful purples and whites, the blue center almost seems like blueberries and cream, and the contrast of the blues with the purples is luscious. And your background seems on fire (so to speak): Lit from within. Luminous greens. You did a great job with colors here, and showed off your mastery of postwork and luminescence. There's a certain grain too, which gives it electricity...A stunning shot of this "bone seed" flower, and another of your fine close cropped flower shots.
