Gazania is a genus of flowering plants in the family Asteraceae, native to Southern Africa. They produce large, daisy-like composite flowers in brilliant shades of yellow and orange, over a long period in summer. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover. I believe this is Gazania linearis here are some pictures of Gazania linearis http://kumbulanursery.co.za/sites/kumbulanursery/files/styles/plant-large/public/plant_pictures/gazania_linearis_3_0.jpg?itok=26ASX1N5 http://kumbulanursery.co.za/sites/kumbulanursery/files/styles/plant-large/public/plant_pictures/gazania_linearis_2.jpg?itok=_1xkjr99
