Hi there! I'm hoping you all can help me out a bit here. I'm trying to identify this flower. It's reminiscent of a sunflower (to me at least) but I can't say I've ever seen it before. There's a larger version here.
Thank you. It does kind of look like an Arctotis. I still can't seem to find others of its specific kind though...perhaps it's some random hybrid or something. *shrug*
To me it looks like a Venidium. Try google images for venidium-there are some there that look very similiar to yours.
Genus: Venidium Less. Synonym of: Arctotis L. Family: Asteraceae Altfamily: Compositae Genus number: 16947 Last updated: 17-Sep-1996 List of Species Records in GRIN. From this website (below) The present study does not support recognition of a monophyletic Venidium. http://www.amjbot.org/cgi/content/full/93/8/1222 HTH Chris
