Gerbera sp.
Gerbera L., also commonly known as the African Daisy, is a genus of ornamental plants from the sunflower family (Asteraceae). It has approximately 30 species in the wild, extending to South America, Africa and tropical Asia. Gerbera species bear a large capitulum with striking, two-lipped ray florets in yellow, orange, white, pink or red colours. The capitulum, which has the appearance of a single flower, is actually composed of hundreds of individual flowers. Source: Wikipedia.

Thank you Alice. I will update my ID. From the images I've seen, my spotting resembles more a Gerbera genus than a Common Daisy. Regards!
In the states this is called a Gerber Daisy.
