Zulu Prince

While at the Public Market on Saturday, I spotted some beautiful flowers that were totally unfamiliar to me. I asked about them was told they are called Zulu Prince daisies. A quick Google research revealed that their true name is Venidium fastuosum. Zulu Prince is much more romantic.

They are quite nice. Each year when I plant flowers I am astonished at the variety and the number I don't recognize. Quite a change for me from the days when the flowers came up on their own or you had none.

Wow, those are gorgeous. I wonder if they're drought resistant like African daisies?

WOW - I love these! Daisies are my favorite flowers, and these are beautiful. I'm not a plant person (I have a black thumb, not a green one!), but I do enjoy taking photos of them. This photo is beautiful!

Love daisies. These are really pretty. I just planted a bed of daisies in my garden last week and they look great.
