I've not come across that flower . . . is it an annual? Is it shade- and slug-tollerant (I have a north-facing back garden). I'd like to get one/several of these, as they're stunning!!!

Oh, and Het - great pictures, you must be another one with an excellent-quality camera like Dawn and Fran.

Thanks everyone....the plant I picked up in Somerfield, the camera is nothing fancy really, its a Kodak DX6490 although it does have a 10x zoom which is very good. I took these pics using the Macro button.

Yola....these plants are one of my favourite, I think they also call them Cape Daisys. they come in quite a few different colours and seem very tough .Ideal for my garden, you just stick them in a pot and they just seem to get on with it by themselves.

Emma...feel free to use the pics...thankyou:D

Yola - they are a very easy plant. Spread like crazy but you just hack them back. Slugs will eat them but they're a lot tougher than e.g. petunia. Colour is usually in the lilac/lavender spectrum but white, pink and purple also available.

Lovely picture I adore them and they open up in the sun and close their petals when it is dull. Brilliant plant I always have at least 2 - 3 in the garden in pots.
