  1. Is it real? So much of the art you post looks real? It looks like a cross between a sunflower and a passionflower. Tree

  2. Tree -- it is a real flower, just the way it looked when I saw it a week or so back at the Tucson Botanical Gardens. Unfortunately I have no idea what type of flower this is... Anyone?

  7. It's a Gazania, native to South Africa, but grows beautifully in Arizona. They come in many colors from orange, yellow, white, and combinations of all three.
