Purple Osteospermum flower

Or - The scientific name is derived from the Greek osteon (bone) and Latin spermum (seed). It has been given several common names: African daisy, South African daisy, Cape daisy and blue-eyed daisy. (ref Wiki)

Okay it's another flower - but it's baby sitting day Monday so time is short.

A fairly basic and common flower but a beautiful one. In fact one of my favourites.

The good ole Wiki says - There are about 50 species, native to Africa, 35 species in southern Africa, and the southwestern Arabian Peninsula. They are half-hardy perennials or subshrubs. Therefore they do not survive outdoor wintry conditions, but there is still a wide range of hardiness.

And - hardy they surely are around our area - hope you enjoy
