African Daisy

“Flowers are a proud assertion that a ray of beauty out values all the utilities in the world.”– Ralph Waldo Emerson


African daisies look a lot like common daisies but their vivid colouring is unlike the classic daisy. They have white, cream, pink, purple and yellow flowers. The scientific name of the African daisy is Osteospermum and on the emotional front, the flower represents purity as well as innocence. These perennials thrive in sunny and warm habitats. The bloom comprises a central disc with a large number of tiny florets and have flat or spoon-shaped petals.
