A beautiful composition, John, with wonderful color and detail, and the added interest of the little visitor and his tiny shadow. I love these flowers, which I know as Osteospermum or African Daisies. I prefer the sound of Cape Daisies! I think I'll call them that. #9975139Emile Abbott February 10, 2012
