The Gerbera, also known as the African Daisy, large red African Daisies are used for bridal bouquets. It is said that in the early 20th century, Madagascar, located in southern Africa, was a small country rich in tropical flowers. There was a girl named Sranini who loved to plant wild flowers with slightly bent stems and drooping flowers since she was young. When she got married, she requested more flowers in the hall to enhance the wedding atmosphere. Guests from all sides sang and danced, toasting frequently. However, the bridegroom, with a shallow capacity for drink, got drunk after just three rounds, bowing his head and leaning, east and west. The bride had to help him into the bedroom to rest. Seeing this supporting posture similar to that of the wild flowers, many girls exclaimed in unison, "Oh, the flower really looks like it's supporting the man!" From then on, the name 'Gerbera' spread far and wide.
