Mainly for Cetti, and Tbird, We went to our local RHS gardens today, and they had some, had the picture with me, and spoke to one of the Gardeners. Its an 'Inula Orientalis', Although on fairness to you both, I had the added advantage of seeing it in the flesh, and the leaves, do resemble the 'Teazle', I only knew it wasn't one, because as I said, I grow them, Anyway. Thanks for looking, and your efforts on my behalf, very much appreciated. Thanks.
Hi lonnie, Ahh thats great thats been bugging me all day!!
You should have some big yellow spidery,daisy-like flowers any day now.
Glad I was'nt the only one baffled the that plant. Please send a pic when it's in full bloom. Cheers- Tbird+
I'm so glad the identity has been revealed, as it's defeated the BBC Gardening Message Board..... never have guessed it was that gorgeous daisy in a million years ..as Tbird says please post a pic when it's in flower if you can.
