Botanical Name: Gerbera jamesonii
Common Names: Gerbera Daisy, Transvaal Daisy
Place Of Origin: South Africa
It was named by Linnaeus in honour of his friend the German naturalist Traugott Gerber, and first described by J.D. Hooker in 1889.
Many modern cut flower forms are derived from crosses between G. jamesonii and G. viridifolia. Newer varieties have double petals, giving a fluffy look to the flower, or thin, spidery petals, or wider, thicker petals.
In the Language of Flowers, white gerberas mean ‘innocence’; yellow means ‘I’ll try harder’, and orange means ‘You are my sunshine’.
