This photograph depicts a Zulu Prince Daisy (Arctotis fastuosa), grown on our heirloom seed farm. The image is composed of a stack of 70 macro photographs, merged to reveal exceptional detail.

True to its name, the flower carries a regal presence: silky white petals are accented with brush-like strokes of purple and gold. The pollen, clearly visible, acts as a natural magnet for bees. This daisy is a fine example of that rare kind of beauty that is both striking and delicate at the same time.
