subject: The Bright And Lively Gerbera Daisy [print this page] Among one of the most popular flowers in the world is the gerbera daisy. It is no wonder as there are so many different colours and it is simply a pleasant flower to look at.
They originate from South Africa and were a discovery of Robert Jameson. The gerberas we see today are hybrids of the original; they are larger and more colourful than the ones found in 1884.
This flower is usually used in for celebratory events, due to its vivid appearance. It is symbolizes purity, innocence and even good luck.
Not only is the flower beautiful and bright in its appearance, it is one of the tougher flowers out there. They can even withstand winters that are not too harsh.
If you receive or send gerberas daisies make sure, that they end up in a place that gets lots of sunshine as this is something they really enjoy. They also need lots of water to thrive.
There are many different varieties of gerbera daisies. They usually have one or two rows of petals, but some hybrid varieties have anywhere from two to four layers of petals. Gerberas with longer stems are grown for cut flower arrangements, while the variety used for potted plants are usually much shorter.
For the holidays this flower can be a very good addition to Christmas arrangements, as it is available in several colours, including red. With a few holiday accents like pine cones and cinnamon sticks this bloom can add something new to the decorations we are so used to.
