Here's an interesting link on "the tallest church."

This is a concert stage built (behind the bridge) on the Amstel.
I like to visit the Hard Rock Cafes in most cities I visit. Sometimes I even go inside and order food and drink.
(That concert was part of a liberation festival to celebrate the Netherlands' National Liberation Day on May 5.)
I have a question for all of you. Do you know what kind of flower this is? It looks like a sunflower, but it's not.
Think it starts with G. I'm having a mental blank. Back in a minute.
osso, you are soooo OSSO good.
But, the leaves are wrong - it seems so anyway, and given where it is, it might be a dutch native..
osso, Thanks for trying. It's driving me nuts, cause I can't find it on the web either.
Welcome, CI. Now I'll be nuts too. The flower and the way it stands up is so similar to the Transvaal daisy...
did you look through photos of the aster family?
No, but I emailed a professor friend who's wife was a botany professor at Cal Poly. Hope he sees my email.
Ooh, I hope you find out what that gorgeous flower is and if it could possibly survive in New Mexico.
This is so much fun c.i. Between you and Walter, we have near professional photographers on a2k.
And Dys ain't bad at it either...
He can't come up with a name, but thinks it is like the gebera, a daisy look-alike.
Much larger than a daisy.
Gerbera (see my links) is fairly large. How large is it, CI?
Those are gerbera, you get them here in flower shops - and I bought some this Saturday from the market: at the "Holländer" (= Dutchman = a stall, selling flowers directly from the flower auctions in Aalsmeer).
(Gerbera are to be get in different seizes: from really smal - like on our balcony - onwards.)
Hmmm, maybe it's not G. jamesonii... or the leaves in the photo belong to something else..
Thanks, Walter..
