First one looks like a gazania - we have a whole lot of them in our  
garden.  Mostly at my request as I think they're beautiful flowers.   
There's a large variety available: some have really deep, rich  
colours, others have nice subtle hues.


Here's one of mine from a few years ago but I think it could use a bit  
more DOF.

Just makes me miss summer even more.

Dave,
Pleasantly atypical view of a gazania!  Nice shot.

I like the first one.  The off centre composition works well.

The light seems a tad harsh on the second and the shadows on the rear
petal are distracting.  Good colour - might be worth repeating in more
diffuse light.




Cheers

Like the first shot very much.  Good composition and interesting
lighting.  Second shot not as much - just doesn't have the impact of
the first shot.
