Cape Daisy

Scientific classification
Kingdom: Plantae
Family: Asteraceae
Tribe: Calenduleae
Genus: Osteospermum

The common name of these flowers is African Daisy or South African Daisy, Cape Daisy and Blue-eyed Daisy.  The scientific name is Osteospermum.  It  is derived from the Greek word  osteon, which means bone and Latin spermum which means seed. Source here.

I added the berries in this mosaic because they were just growing next to the daisies at the Huntington Gardens.

    I consider daisies as my favorite flowers because they’re pretty and simple.Plus they don’t have strong scents to trigger my allergic rhinitis.=) I love their colors too. Great mosaic! Wish I could finally learn how to do something like it.
