    Sorry, I don’t but it’s beautiful. Knowing where it was taken might help. And also looking at the leaves; my grandfather was a botany teacher, unfortunately I didn’t inherit the genes (not that I believe they are inherited)!

    Very beautiful and fragile-looking flower. I like it.

    We had the tail end of Hurricane Ike here all day. I lost my cherry tree and a lot of limbs. The neighbors lost three trees and they fell on a power line and that weight broke the power pole. Not a good day here in SW Ohio.

    Mine are on Canon Pixels

    It looks like a variation of a rudbeckia, but not the more common black-eyed susan flower.

    Beautiful photo; love the bit of purple you captured behind.

    I’m not sure, but maybe it’s some type of African Daisy? It’s beautiful, regardless of the name.

    I don’t know the name either but capturing the purple behind it really sets it off–very creative!

    I agree with another comment. It looks like a variety similar to blackeyed Susans. Very, very pretty.

    I love the one single flower - it is beautiful!
    Hope someone can name it for you.

    Thanks for the visit and the comment, Paz. Not sure what flower it is, but it might be part of the daisy generic type.

    Would “beuatiful” be an acceptable answer?

    wish I could help, but I don’t think I have ever seen this before. I like your photo Paz. The blurry leaf in the front adds a certain sense of peace to the composition.

    It looks like an African daisy to me, an annual planted each year from seeds. ;-)

    Delicate and lovely is what I’d call it!

    I thought of a larger looking Black Eye Susan…. but I have only ever seen them with the ‘EYE’…

    Mine’s Here

    I was hoping someone knew the name. I captured one I’ll be posting sometime this week. I’ve never seen one before with that purple in the center so I snapped it. Nice to see someone else has it too. :-) Great shot by the way. It’s such a pretty little thing.

    I too am not sure about the name of this beautiful flower. I think it is some kind of a daisy or coneflower. But what ever it is it is just beautiful; as if it’s smile at me. You photo is great. I saw the photos of the purple petunias behind this flower and they are just gorgeous. Thanks for sharing these photos, I rally enjoyed them all.

    You’ve stumped me here!
    But it is very lovely.
    We missed you at the little bloggers get-together.
    Maybe the next one?
    I’m off to England tomorrow and will see you on my return at the beginning of October.
    Lots of love

    What a sweet combo of colours. I love how the purple comes through & is reflected a little onto the yellow flower. Gorgeous Paz!

    Ok…I’m late so I’m sure you’ve already figured out what the flower is. But I’m OCD so here’s a link to another shot of what looks like the same flower to me http://www.flickr.com/photos/29289063@N08/2791929158/in/pool-africandaisy

    It is a beautiful photo Paz!
