Treasure Flower - Gazania Flower Closeup - Drought-tolerant
The Gazania flower, also known as the treasure flower or African daisy, is a South African annual that thrives in hot, dry summers and full sun. It is part of the daisy family (Asteraceae) and produces large, daisy-like composite flowerheads in shades of yellow and orange over a long period in summer. A unique trait is that they open in sunlight and close when it is cloudy or at night. They are often planted as drought-tolerant groundcover. This photo is taken in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on January 7, 2026. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
