The most famous plant from this region is the world renowned BARBERTON DAISY, GERBERA JAMESONII. It was named in honour of a Scotsman, the Hon. Robert Jameson, who lived in Durban and trekked to Barberton to investigate a rich strike near Moodies in the new gold fields. This lovely daisy is the parent plant of the many colour variants and double daisies that flourish in gardens all over the world. The colours vary from white, cream or lemon, to yellow, rose pink, salmon, orange and the original bright scarlet. This plant is very popular in the Netherlands, where much of the modern breeding research was done. The Dutch have also specialized in a miniature form that can be grown in small pots, especially for flat dwellers.
