Pink Whirls
However you call this flower, whether it be Spoon Daisy or Pink Whirl, it's a visually interesting member of the Osteospermum family. I had to do some searching online of "daisy with curled petals" in order to identify what it is!

It is certainly very striking. I bought some seedlings of it from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens as a West Coast Daisy and they come up every year in the garden.

I like perennials because that means low maintenance. Except for the weeding part of course, but it makes the work all worthwhile… so long as you didn’t think they were weeds early in the season and pulled them out!!

Neat looking flower…never have seen one before. Gotta love the internet for identifying flowers (and birds)!

Wonderful. Reminds me of a ferris wheel with the way those petals open up at the end like that!

The internet definitely has become the encyclopedia for me. Remember when we actually had volumes of encyclopedias that you’d flip through to read up on subjects? Or reference a dictionary for how to spell something? I don’t remember the last time I actually opened either of those, yet I still have a giant dictionary sitting on a shelf!

Thank you
You can plant clusters of those around that deck of yours and enjoy all your hard work on the house and yard amongst a playground of pink whirls. Just set up a bubble machine in the background somewhere too, and you’ll be all set!
