Description
This photograph was taken while visiting a local supermarket in my area. The market is a great place to find flowers, fruits, and vegetable for photographing. The color of this gerber blossom caught my eye while photographing. The vivid red color and the detail in the center drew me in to take a closer look. The gerbera daisy was discovered in 1884 near Barberton, South Africa, by Scotsman Robert Jameson. While the flower's scientific name, Gerbera jamesonii, recollects the name of its founder, the meaning of its common name draws from German naturalist Traugott Gerber. The gerber daisies meanings include innocence, purity, and cheerfulness and because it is a part of the daisy family it is a classic symbol of beauty. I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others. You can see more of my work on my homepage. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
