Namaqualand Daisies
I was invited to do an article on flowers for the Hello! Hello! Group by @rlt47
When I stepped into my garden, I found the perfect topic, Namaqualand Daisies also known as the, Glandular Cape Marigold. Specie - Dimorphotheca sinuata
Here are some in my garden. They are completely out of season, but since we had so much rain. Here they are! A few years back I scattered some seeds in my garden and I allow them to grow wild here.
- Picture My Own
Let me tell you about Namaqualand daisies. They are truly one of nature’s miracles and are extremely tough. They grow in the semi-arid / desert regions of the west coast of South Africa in a region called Namaqualand; hence their name.
They usually grow during the South African spring season from September / October. It must be said that they don’t grow every year. If there is a drought then there are no daisies or very isolated occurrences. In good years they carpet the dessert for hundreds of kilometres.
They occur in a variety of colours, namely orange, yellow, white and purple.
Thank-you! Thank-you! You have all been awesome for reading my post.

Welcome to HHG 10 on behalf of all memebers and I think you must be from indonesia, is it so?
Wonderful photos and I think it is abundantly available in india also namely sunflower. not sure though
ROFL!!!!! Hello @angelro. No, I am not from Indonesia, but I was teased about my Asian features from child days... These flowers are a variant of the daisy / marigolds. They are much smaller than sunflowers.
Hahah...it was a wild imagination..but I was wrong..Sorry for that...
That photo looked like some sunflower garden in India too. the reason i asked...
Have a nice day my friend...Stay blessed
No worries, it's difficult to tell from a photograph.
