a landing place for bees (gardenflower in UV)

Post by Franz Neidl »

This is a gardenflower (about 5 cm diameter). Unfortunately I dont know the species - maybe somebody can help me. The second picture is made with the Baader UV-Filter.

great shots Franz, that is one of my favourates!
It is Gazania also called "South African Daisy" or "Mittagsgold" in german.

Rudbeckia is similar but (I think) lacks the dark markings and has relatively longer petals.

Rudbeckia is quite a bit different I would say, has a very dark outward bulging center ("black eyed susan") and a very prominent UV pattern. This is Rudbeckia fulgida for example:
