Birth flower for November 26
Spider gerbera
Meaning: hope; always moving forward
Gerberas are named after the German botanist Traugott Gerber, and the wild species comes from South Africa, where it is also called the Barberton daisy. The spider type is a newer cut-flower favorite: its ray petals are finely slit, splitting into two or three curling tips at the ends, so the flower looks like a bursting firework instead of the usual neat round daisy.
