That's really nice.
Great composition & I like the contrast between the pink and the dark green behind.
Is it a gazania ?

Very nice Jols.
"Bert" takes lovely pics
I think it is a Gazania, looks like the ones I have. Mine are orange though and pink. Clairelou is the official Yop! Flower person, she knows most plants

I meant to add - flipped round (so the green is on the right) it would make a great desktop.

That is an excellent shot Jols.
I'd be very proud to call that one my own!
Great photograph Jols.

Gazania looks very similar but smaller and leaves are differant http://www.desert-tropicals.com/Plan...ia_rigens.html
