Gerbera Daisy

Gerbera daisies represent simplicity. They bring to mind sunlit meadows and sweet hand picked bouquets. Yet, there’s a surprising elegance to them which makes them perfect for centerpieces and celebrations.

These bright blooms are from more exotic climes. They first grew wild in South America, Asia and Africa, sometimes being called the Transvaal Daisy from being found in abundance in South Africa’s Transvaal region. The daisies were named for the famed German botanist, Traugott Gerber, friend of Carl Lineaus, the father of botany. They were first discovered and classified in 1884 by Scotsman Robert Jameson, in the Barberton region, probably during an area gold rush. Breeding programs began in England in 1890 which enhanced the flowers’ quality and color variation. The Gerbera daisy’s popularity soon traveled to growers in The Netherlands, which along with Columbia , is one of the chief distributors of the flowers today. Many love them because daisies symbolize innocence and purity as well as a symbol of beauty. Thanks to their vivid colors, the Gerbera daisy also represent cheerfulness.

A Saddle Brook florist can show you the different types of Gerbera daisies. There is the Flori Line with petals the color of fruit punch along with the Maxi Lilac that blooms a spectacular lavender pink. The Mexican Pink that has fiery reddish pink petals. The blooms also come in bright orange and saffron yellow. For subtlety there is the Classic Jasmina daisy that sports soft coral tinged ivory petals and the Sweet Memories which have a profusion of double petals colored a blush pink. The Gerbera daisy also has striking color combinations too. The Revolution Bicolor is striped with a white ring surrounded by rings of bright candy pink. The Volcanoes have a sun yellow stripe that breaks up fiery sunset colored petals.

Many brides choose Gerbera daisies for their bouquets to break away from the traditional white. They are also perfect for bridesmaids, matching their gowns or being part of a colorful bouquet. A bouquet of blooms can highlight any simple bridesmaid dress and even work as coronets for a more country style wedding. They also look adorable as bouquets and headpieces for flower girls and junior bridesmaids. The theme can be continued for the centerpieces as well as the wedding cake. Imagine a cascade of them artfully placed on the tiers.

Gerbera daisies are bright additions to our live. The colorful blooms add joy and happiness to any celebration or event. They’re not just simple daisies but beautiful flowers, bursting with various shades and hues.
