Before I went to the museum event I posted about yesterday, I stopped at The Farm at South Mountain, an organic farming complex located within the city limits on the far south side of town. In addition to farming, there are restaurants that serve fabulous meals. In fact, I posted about one of the restaurants way back in January of 2009. Between the rows of vegetables growing were row after row of these gorgeous flowers called Zulu Prince Daisies.
Here is a patch of lettuce growing quite beautifully and a little further on are green onion and garlic plants.

That is quite a headdress on that rooster! The daisy looks like a type of gerbera, maybe?
That's an amazing place! I'd be down there all the time! That flower shot is so beautiful - looks almost surreal. And the chicken (rooster) - he takes the cake or the hen as the case may be!
I so enjoyed this post Sharon, gosh the Zulu Prince Daisies are incredible, I'll be looking out for them next time I'm at the nursery. The rooster is magnificent.. no wonder her was crowing :)
I have never been there in my 32 years of living in the Phoenix area. I need to go.
What a gorgeous flower shot! And the chicken is amazing.
Beautiful daisy.
I remember when there were fields growing food all over Phoenix. It has changed drastically since then. That is a perfect name for that exotic looking daisy.
Love that rooster. I have found that it is very difficult to get a good picture of a chicken as they don't hold still.
That is an elaborate looking rooster!
I love the rows of luscious lettuce, Sharon! My hair often looks like that rooster's when I get up in the morning.
Gorgeous close ups, the photo with the flower and the rooster are magnificent
Now that looks a bit like a slice of heaven! The flower is gorgeous, from the thumbnail I thought it was a passion flower!
I love that chicken shot and also seeing this wonderful farm thriving! Gorgeous gorgeous flower!
Some photographic variety today, with the macro of the flower (nice!) and the rows of lettuce (also nice!).
What a beautifully named flower!
Oh, those roosters certainly need lots of attention.
