Little bit
It's a little flower but I like it a lot. Taken at Longwood Gardens last month. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a pic of the nameplate. Does anyone know the name of this little gem?
UPDATE: Thank you to Olivia. This is a Spooned Osteospermum.

No Idea. But I LOVE it!
Gorgeous! (It looks like an osteospermum.)
I know! I know! Hand flying up in the air.....
It is osteospermum whirly - gig.
It definitely is one of my faves.

This is such an interesting bloom. It makes me think of Mardi Gras when I see it! Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful flower!! Never seen one of these before!!
thats wonderful and it has great contrast.
Lovely flower. I don't think I've ever seen one. Don't you love how someone can always identify things for us? Gotta love the internet.
Wow, Kate, this is so beautiful! I always love visiting here, and seeing your wonderful photos. :)
This almost doesn't look real. the center of the flower is unique in its detail. And the colors...WOW
wow,so bright, never seen anything like it
Oh, it's beautiful whatever it is. Isn't it amazing how nature can create things of such loveliness?

What a Stunning flower! I have never seen one like it before.
Fabulous photo, I'm glad some one knew it's name.
Like always, an amazing photo. My daughter and I are currently concentrating on macro photos as we want to participate in a photo competition with a macro theme. Tell me, what is the the depth of field you used and what is the distance between you and the flower?
Dear PhotoBoost,
I have no idea what it was set to. I didn't take notes that day. I'm so sorry.
You could have used forgetting the nameplate as an excuse to go back to the garden...
The colors are beautiful.
