Resplendent blossoms in brilliant colors.

Gerbera Daisy (Gerbera Jamesonii):  The
close-up shot of this inspiring, large pink bloom
provides sunny, summer scenery for any room.
First discovered in 1880 by Robert Jameson while
operating a gold mine in South Africa (Transvaal
or Africa Daisy), specimens were sent to the
Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew in England
(Barberton Daisy) and, soon afterward, were
popularized by breeding programs in the
Netherlands.

Today, the majority come from South America,
where they are cultivated for use as cut flowers.  
Varieties differ in the massive array of available
colors and the number of long outer rays and a
tight group of short dish flowers in the center.  
The vase life lasts for only 14 days, but this pink
gerbera daisy can indefinitely be captured on
your wall to provide a high light intensity feeling
that will keep you glowing!
