Gerbera daisies are one of my favorite flowers, though we have them only in the flower shop.
Gerbera flower is native to South Africa and it is member of Asteraceae family, just like sunflowers, daisies, chrysanthemums and asters.
I like the bold and striking appearance of these daisy-like flowers.
Here are a few gerbera macros, a Thanksgiving gift for everyone.
Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Hello and Happy Pink Saturday maiaT...
I so love this post. The gerbera daisy were my nieces favorite flower in the whole world. She passed away 4 weeks ago, and everytime I see a gerbera daisy it makes me smile. Thank you for this smile today and for sharing with me.
You did a beautiful job photographing the beauty of this flower. The petals are just gorgeous.

Beautiful shots, I love the pink color of this Gerbera. They are also very hardy, I have a red one on the patio and it is still blooming long after my other flowers are gone.
Hi Maia I only found your blog this week and have to say that your photos are lovely. I like the way you captured the candle light in the graveyards. I've never seen that before. I've put a link to yours on my blog so hopefully you'll get some more visitors to appreciate your photos. Happy Pink saturday :)
I love gerbera daisies as well. I am glad you shared a bit of their background. I did not know all that about them. A great pink showing.
Beautiful flowers. Gerbers are my favorite...and Pink. Happy Pink Saturday! Grace

What beautiful daisies! I absolutely love the last one. The colors are so vibrant. I like the fact that you shared something about them too. I didn't know that all of those flowers were native to S. Africa. I'm so glad we get to enjoy them here! Happy Pink Saturday.
