A Few Gerbera Daisies

Gerbera Daisies are the flower I get asked if I have any photos of more than any other. I do have one – Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy – available on canvas. And other than that – I’m still looking for just the right ones to offer as canvases. I have photographed several more gerbera daisies this year – who knows – one of these just might be the next one of my gerbera daisy photos you see in print.

Here are some of the gerbera daisies I photographed this year.

Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy – My February 2012 Photo of the Month

For years at shows and via email people would ask for photos of Gerbera Daisies. They are an incredibly popular flower. And my answer was always – I didn’t have any photos of Gerbera Daisies – and I didn’t know if I’d ever have them – since I prefer to photograph flowers where they are growing. That way I’m not interrupting the cycle of life by preventing insects and birds from pollinating the flowers, nor am I preventing anyone else from enjoying the same flowers that I’ve photographed by picking them. Most Gerbera Daisies I see in the Washington DC area are cut flowers at a florist or grocery store. Recently, at a local botanical Garden I found several varieties of Gerbera Daisies in full bloom. This Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy was in great shape, beautiful shades of bright yellow contrasting with the dark green leaves. I knew I’d found the first Gerbera Daisy that I’d be happy to offer as a photo on canvas for all the Gerbera Daisy lovers. So now – I’m in search of more varieties of Gerbera Daisy growing in the area for me to photograph.

I’ve recently added a new photo – Yellowstone Gerbera Daisy – to my Beautifulflowerpictures.com website.

For years at shows and via email people would ask for photos of Gerbera Daisies. They are an incredibly popular flower.

Finally – a post with photos of Gerbera Daisies. Over the years I’ve gotten so many requests for photos of Gerbera Daisies – and until now – I haven’t had many photos of them. I rarely have found Gerbera Daisies growing in the DC area. The ones I see are usually at the florist or grocery store. And you know – I like to photograph flowers where they are growing rather than under studio lights in my basement.

Gerbera Daisies are part of the Aster family, native to Africa, Asia and South America. They have become the world’s fifth most popular cut flower – which probably explains why I see so many at local flower shops. They are now thousands of cultivars available in just about every color you can imagine.

Here are some of the ones I’ve photographed recently.
