Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa. It is also called Treasure flower. The plant is treasured for its strangely patterned daisylike flowers. The Gazania flowers bloom in solid colours from yellow to orange, red, pink and white or in or in wild colour combinations with splashy stripes or rings of contrasting colours.They can be as large as four inches across. <embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.zazzle.com/utl/getpanel?zp=117487366652067830" flashvars="feedId=117487366652067830" width="300" height="200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /><embed wmode="transparent" src="http://www.zazzle.com/utl/getpanel?zp=117126330212957136" flashvars="feedId=117126330212957136" width="300" height="200" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" /> A typical characteristic of the Gazania flower is that they are particular to light so they close up in the evenings and on overcast days the way that dandelions and tulips do.
