gerberagerbera
genusgenusCheerful flowering plants characterized by large, daisy-like blooms that come in a vibrant array of colors, with distinctive layered petals radiating from a central disc. These plants produce their flowers on long, leafless stems that rise above a rosette of dark green, slightly fuzzy leaves.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of German botanist Traugott Gerber, who worked as a physician and botanist in Russia during the early 18th century.
Interesting fact!
The flower heads actually consist of hundreds of tiny individual flowers working together to attract pollinators, with each petal being its own complete flower.
