Like The Sun

Could this flower be a type of daisy? Or a species of gaillardia? I have no idea! But it made me smile, so I had to take a picture of it. 8D
Lovely colors!

What a beautiful flower and with such detail and color that you captured. Great job, Livia. I have never seen a flower like this one before.

Marvelous colors , great close up . Without more details I can`t be sure but it looks a Coreopsis tinctoria to me

@pyrrhula You may be right! Thank you! I googled for images and there is a great resemblance between the flower in my shot and the others. 8D

I looked in my flower book and it looks like a Galliardia, there are lots of different varieties. Whatever, the colours are beautiful, just what we need at the moment. Where did you see this?
February 2nd, 2012  
What lovely colours. Daisies..any type...are always such happy flowers.

Daisies are often like the coverall name for flowers like this. Many are really variations of mums. But...to me...anything with petal like this are daisies. Love the color capture of this one, Livia. Nicely done.
February 3rd, 2012  
Lovely detail and colour!

It makes me smile too as there are not many flowers here in the winter. Great job!
February 3rd, 2012  
I think it's a type of daisy, Livia. I had similar daisies but the yellow parts where white in my case. Beautiful capture - great colours.
February 3rd, 2012  
Very nice! I love the detail in this!
February 3rd, 2012  
A gorgeous shot Livia. I believe this is a Coreposis.

Have a small section in our garden that's full of those. They usually bloom in the spring, but die out before summer. But not all. For some reason there's always or two that pop up all the way till winter. Great color.
