Flower Identification

[jont]

Calling all floral experts - can anyone recognise the flower in the scan? I think it is the same as the Dobbies logo.

[leehack]

It's a member of the poppy family, looks like the red ephilus range.

[guccij]

Some kind of dianthus or chrysanth?

[Duncan Rounding]

Red, Vermillion, Crimson - no certainly Pink I would say, just like the Dobbie logo yes.

Seriously - Gerbera Daisy perhaps.

Almost but not quite like http://www.rainbowfloristsupplies.co.../Gerberas.html

[Duncan Rounding]

There are many species of Gerbera though with straight petals.

Yep - definitely a modified Gerbera

Cheers everyone.

The closest I could have said was 'a red daisy' and it looks like I wouldn't have been far out.

Come on Jonty, what's this all about?

New wine list for local University - I have their architects "mood board" for the new restaurant and that was one of the images (it is almost the same Pantone colour as their feature wall). I now have a lovely Pantone 812C Gerbera on their wine list

Sorry to have missed this thread, folks, should've PM'd me! Or you could have asked brian.mc, he's a genuine florist!

It's definitely a Gerbera, aka Gerbera Daisy.

Thanks for the link, Jont!

Correct. We only do artificial ones - so not as varied as real-life, just the basic representations.

[pixelhaus]

Definitely a Gerbera.

[leehack]

I think its a Gerbera.

[Duncan Rounding]

Agreed - it's got to be.

You lot need some convincing - it's a Gerbera


I'd write the full latin story but forgot the spelling

I'm pretty sure it's a Gerbera now actually.
