Tall Cineraria
Senecio ‘Giovanna’s Select’
(sen-NEESH-shee-oh)
Since I am running late this morning just a short post. I was visiting another blog and the person had shot some 50mm/1.8 florals so I was inspired to the do the same! This one came out the best. Like I posted on the other blog it is difficult to work with a razor thin depth of field.
This plant is an annual in my climate. It doesn’t need much care and can grow in part shade or sun. I have had them come back from seed before. Jim Ottobre from Inverness developed this particular strain. He named it after his daughter.
I am not sure what this flower is, anybody have any ideas? I shot this picture with the 60mm macro lens at F/3.3.

Wow that second flower is stunning! I have no idea what it is. I love when flowers have daisy shapes and with colored tips.
Lovely macros! No clue on the last flower but I love that the tips are purple to balance out the center. Very cool!
Could it be an Osteospremum?
No idea.
Stunning photograph.

I love the way you've used a small DOF here. The flowers in your photos are beautiful, the time you spend is well worth it (in my opinion!)
Cheers,

Beautiful flowers and pictures. I think as someone said its either Osteospremum or a coreopsis. I'd go with the coreopsis, though its a funky color (I want it! :) Cheers! Cynthia
We had a couple of good guesses but I am still not sure. I am leaning toward Osteospremum.
I am not good with flowers, only know some of the more common locals, but your photographs are beautiful. thanks for sharing
