The flower you enquire about is probably an over exposed pale pink gerbera. It is not a garvinia gerbera which are great long lasting cut flowers. But even though it is clay with a little compost/horse manure underneath it, it does well as it is on a slope. Gerberas do surprisingly well here. Very long flowering. I even have seedlings from many.
Behind it is a leaf of a globe artichoke which I would grow for the lovely form silver grey foliage. It constantly dies back and regrows but we had some small tasty g a from it. Really better suited to mediterranean climates than our sub tropics.
Below MARCIA FAY is a low growing white evolvulus. The bright blue flowered one is more commonly grown. They are easily propagated from cuttings or layering. But not invasive.
