Does anyone know the name of this flower?

Hey, I was looking at some images of the "kirstenbosch botanical gardens" in Capetown (amazing stuff) & I came across this flower, it's the orange one near the bottom, there's also another pic of a group of them that says "hazy flowers" I'm not sure if that's the name though…

Gazanias are shorter stemmed, with larger flowers. I'd say they may be African Daisies, but what variety I don't know.

Gazania looks excellent in bulk planting - better even than those do, though it's a shorter plant.

Yup, cape Daisy or Osteospermum, again which variety I'm not sure, the purple variety is very hardy and will survive outdoors anywhere on the Island
