Oh, we have lots of those in the back garden! Erm. I want to say Cape Daisy but that might be wrong. AH will possibly know, but I shall ask when I can be sure of a civil answer. Yes, Cape Daisy or Osteospermum, I believe. They come in such a huge variety of colours and flower shapes. I want some of these, if I can find them, next year. farm4.static.flickr.com/3072/2560197885_b311dbbf01.jpg

The problem is these are particularly shy (unlike some female TOGs I could mention) and do not want to open.

Ours do that. Don't open for ages and then you go outside one morning and WOOMPF! - there they all are, a riot of gorgeous colour.

We now think it may be of the Echinacea family having seen some at Calke Abbey Derbyshire.

My first thought was osteopermum (I think thats correct) or cape dasies. If they don't open they're not getting enough sun. Nicotenia are my fave plant this year(sounds like I've been doing this for years!) Rosemarytheherb xx
