This is an Osteospermum, also called African Daisy, Cape Daisy or Spoon Daisy (because of the spoon-shaped ray florets). I believe this might be the cultivar ‘William.’ I photographed this bloom in the Main Conservatory at Longwood Gardens earlier this month.

What a gorgeous bloom! I love the petals and the blue center. Lovely.
That is just an interesting flower. Very charming!
This is more than a flower, it is a whole garden! Every part of the bloom seems to be an individual flower all by itself. And the focus and light are awesome! Thanks for sharing.
