Wow..Nice to know..world wide names...!!
Hm? @ Ashish: in western romania and hungary people know the name Öszi rozsa (= autumn rose) as Callistephus sp
Oh..I forget English Daisy = Greek Aster...!!
Not this one Daisy....Gerbera is Daisy...!!
This flower on live plant so glowing with real beauty.
Monkey mind you can type it in Hungarian it will be better as Google Chrome had easy translator.
I didn´t mean Gerbera - I don´t like those- the hungarian Name is translated: autumn rose, and definitely is Callistephus sp. They are my moms favourites.
Wow..Monkey mind its nice to know this flower's popularity. But check names for Banquet flowers are used. Like different named Gerbera.
I know those too, in Romania it is also vastly cultivated, usually bought for some celebrations (mostly sad ones :(, but also as an everyday bouquet) I never sensed an odor on them
"इस मूल्यवान चर्चा को पढ़कर मैं बहुत खुश हूँ!" -- "After reading this valuable discussion, I am very glad!"
@Emma.. You truly recognized them. They are mild fragrant, but like odd odor.
In India I saw Blue, Pink, Purple, Maroon, Yellow, White shades of this flowers.
I do remember these as being fragrant though and in multiple colors of which white and yellow are very popular.
Emma must be familiar to this flower as she stayed in India.
What is the local name of this flower?
After Rose Aster flowers are cultivated in India very vastly.
But I do not mind...I come here for learning...by the way this is our household flower. Mostly used(for distribution) in Women's traditional get-together.
@Ashish,... you're right ... I had a weak moment :-)
Raavendra very beautiful flower and great picture..!!
Its Callistephus Chinensis
Tweet once you refuse my suggestion for more than or less than 8 petal flower... as Cosmos... have you changed your idea...?
