    I am no gardener but my mother had cape daisies that are very similar. May not be a gerbera.
    The name Osteospermum is derived from the Greek osteon (= bone) and Latin spermum (= seed). Osteospermums belong to the daisy family ( Compositae / Asteraceae), hence their common names: African Daisy or South African Daisy, Cape Daisy and Blue-eyed Daisy.

    You are correct in that they are referred to as an African Daisy. Very pretty flower. TT
