This image was taken for the themed group Smile on Saturday. This week's theme is "floriography" The information below about the Gerbera Daisy comes from the following website. I personally found it to be very interesting and plan to visit the site to read about other flower meanings.
The gerbera daisy is native to South Africa and lush with bright colors and a happy beauty about it. These daisies are strong perennial plants with colors from deepest red to warm yellows, creams, white and peach shades. Not surprisingly the Victorian meaning of the gerbera daisy is happiness. The gerbera daisy seems to hold its rays open to the world radiating pure happiness. Who wouldn’t get a smile on their face when presented with a bouquet of these beauties?
What Does the Gerbera Daisy Mean? Gerbera Daisies have several meanings, but all lean to happiness. The Egyptian meaning of gerberas is closeness to nature and devotion to the sun. The Celts believed that the gerbera would lessen the sorrows and stresses of everyday life. Any type of daisy equals the truth or happiness of children. It is thought that if someone gives a gift of covered gerbera daisies that it symbolizes they are hiding something.
Etymological Meaning of the Gerbera Flower: The Latin name for the gerbera daisy is Gerbera jamesonii and is part of the large Asteraceae family of flowers. These daisies were named after the German botanist and doctor Traugott Gerber. Also known as the Transvaal Daisy. A Scotsman, Robert Jameson found these beauties growing wild around the dug up gold mines he was in charge of in Transvaal, South Africa, and Mr. Jameson is credited with also discovering these flowers.
The symbolism of the gerbera daisy is the simple beauty of a very happy life. Throughout history, the gerbera daisy has symbolized the innocent hearts of children, attributed to the white gerbera, and, happiness and gratefulness for the life you have been given. The meaning is more energized than contentedness or mellowness. It is happiness that bubbles, fizzes, and pops with joyous surprises.
There is an energetic playfulness to these flowers, which is evident in all their radiant colors. These are not flowers for regrets. These flowers are a celebration of life!
Gerberas are available in rich reds, oranges, yellows peaches, creams, and white and there a few distinct meanings including...
orange: sunshine of life
Red: unconscious in love or fully immersed in love
White: is a symbol of purity or innocence, childlike
