Did you know that....

.... the gerbera

- was named in honour of the German naturalist Traugott Gerber

- is a tender annual flower

- is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds

- is resistant to deer

- comes from the sunflower family

- is the fifth most used cut flower in the world (after rose, carnation, chrysanthemum, and tulip)

Me either. They are very pretty though and this one has lasted in a vase all week
