Purple Rain


I was lucky enough to find this beautiful flower in my garden in Australia.
Photographed during the 1st rains after many years of severe drought.
The Osteospermum plant originates from South Africa and the name is derived from the Greek osteon (= bone) and Latin spermum (= seed). This plant belongs to the daisy family commonly known as the African Daisy or South African Daisy, Cape Daisy and Blue-eyed Daisy.
