Osteospermum 'Pink Whirls' is one of the many cultivars of the genus Osteospermum. It is particularly selected for its unusual flower. Its 13-18 purple to lavender-blue, 'spooned' petals around a blue disk, give the impression of an optical illusion. After a few days the spoon-like petals open up to form normally shaped petals. Most species of Osteospermum are native to Southern Africa, which gives rise to some of their common names such as African Daisy and Cape Daisy.
