Interesting Flowers

These flowers are growing in our yard at the base of one of the palm trees. I'd never seen flowers like these prior to moving here. There were only a few these when we first arrived, but they've started to spread and are really quite pretty.


I don't know if they're some kind of daisy, but that's what they appear to be. They have white petals with purple centers, and they're lavendar on the underside.

I spied a critter on this flower and managed to snap a quick photo before it flew away...

This is one of the blooms.


See the flowers now? They "close up" in the late afternoon/early evening, and they don't "open" again until the next morning. Need a closer view? Check it out... I'd love to have a whole garden of these beautiful flowers!
