Beautiful image, Lajla! How did you find out the name of it? I have the same flower in my garden and the plant tag called it "orange symphony" now I'm wondering if it was the wrong tag...?

Hi Marie, The Latin name for these flowers is Osteospernum which is not nearly as appealing a name as African Daisy, a nickname I found at one nursery last year. I'm told that they're a relatively new species. I grew them last year and they bloomed profusely all late spring and summer AND they drip beautifully out of pots and windowboxes; a really great find by all flower-loving standards. Cheers, Lajla
