O is for
observation and inspired by
Melli, who saw my
thursday post and commented that she... " would really like a closer look at those white flowers behind too! They look very different!". She
observed not only the purple daisy from my garden, but also the ones growing in the back. While doing some research ::wink:: I learned that
oh, surprise, their scientific name is :
Osteospermum fruticosum... another "o"! They are also called Whirligig Daisies or Spoon Daisies. These grow wild in my garden and bloom twice a year. The petals are very unique:

Beautiful blooms and great photography!
ReplyDeleteWe have Osteospermums in our garden, they're probably one of my favourite flowers. Beautiful photos.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your comment on my blog.

O is for not so Ordinary Osteospermum... very nice!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like those petals are made from glass. Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to have Osteospermums growing wild in you garden. I didn't know they were also called Whirligig Daisies or Spoon Daisies - I can quite see how they got that second name - what fun :-)
ReplyDeleteWow, a second look IS worthwhile.

What a lovely flower. I especially like the unusual shape of the petals. Your rose for ruby tuesday is also very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes! I agree! Definitely worth a second look! Such lovely and different flowers! Hope you're enjoying a great week!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
look at how it blooms, something i've never seen before!
ReplyDeleteand it indeed looks like spoon! ^0^
They ARE very unique! I love them! They remind me of CROWNS for some reason... and crowns, of course, remind me of God... so I really LOVED those flowers immediately and I have NEVER seen them before and I am SO GLAD that you entertained my curiosity! THANK YOU!!! You are such a dear friend! :)
ReplyDeleteWhat an ugly name for such a nice flower. Makes me think of osteoporosis !
ReplyDeleteThat's like "Löwenzahn" which is called Piss en lit in french and means "piss in bed" ! Melly has eyes like an eagle !
oh, i love the uniqueness of these petals. noticed them in the previous photo, too
ReplyDeleteOh wow this is my first time to see daisy this kind. So beautiful!! Happy weekend!
