WW: Osteospermum Ecklonis, 'Aksis' Nasinga White Daisy Flowers

Osteospermum White Daisy Photo


"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."
- Iris Murdoch

This unique Cape daisy cultivar looks like it belongs on an alien planet instead of Longwood Gardens. The spoon shape of the flower petals is so strangely beautiful.

    What a unique flower! I have never seen such a flower. It is lovely. Oh, and I thought "alien" was a great word for it, it was what went through my mind before reading what you wrote.

Perhaps it's the hot weather and the drought in Delaware, but I have been daydreaming about being a mermaid. That's why I gleamed to discover the Etsy Blog's Mermaid Makeup Tutorial when looking through the list of articles where my new giveaway sponsor's products have shimmered. Madison Street Beauty has dozens of magnificent eye shadow colors that could enhance the sexy siren in any creature. One lucky winner will even get to choose five full size eye shadows, as well as a foundation, a setting powder and a blush or bronzer sample for free. Amethyst, an opaque vegan eyeshadow of medium purple, would be my first pick, fins down. Look at those sparkles! If choosing only five colors is too difficult, why not try some natural samples first?
