Description
Beautiful rich yellow Gerberas still life photograph.
I believe I put the incorrect title on these daisies and am sure they are Gerbera Daisies, but cannot change the title as all connected links will no longer work. I always find Gerberas similar in structure to Chrysanthemums.

[From Wikipedia]
Gerbera is a genus of plants in the Asteraceae (daisy family). It was named in honour of German botanist and medical doctor Traugott Gerber| (1710-1743) who travelled extensively in Russia and was a friend of Carl Linnaeus.
Gerbera is native to tropical regions of South America, Africa and Asia. The first scientific description of a Gerbera was made by J.D. Hooker in Curtis's Botanical Magazine in 1889 when he described Gerbera jamesonii, a South African species also known as Transvaal daisy or Barberton Daisy. Gerbera is also commonly known as the African Daisy.
Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. The morphology of the flowers varies depending on their position in the capitulum. The flower heads can be as small as 7 cm (Gerbera mini 'Harley') in diameter or up to 12 cm (Gerbera 'Golden Serena').

Thank you so much Bruce for featuring my Daisies in your group "Gerbera Daisies" and for the Administrator Pick of the Day. Much appreciated. It was again a pleasure to view more of your new floral macros and I left a few L/F's as a thank you. It's a pity I put the wrong flower name in the title, but cannot change it as no links will work.
