    Hiya Sheal.

    I think it is one of the Marguerite daisies but I am having problems loading tonight so cannot put anything up to show you.

      My marguerites have different foliage to the ones in Sheal's pic. Mine are more sort of feathery/ferny leaves.

      I was thinking along the lines of Michealmas daisies, but the flower colour is wrong from the ones I know.

        Sorry Armandii, the picture was sent to me by my brother, but I'll see if I can twist his arm for another one. :biggrin:

            Definitely Aster. Common name Michaelmas daisy.
            They can be dwarf or tall, in a range of colours, pink, red , lilac, purple and white.
            There are many named cultivars.

                    There are a lot of species too as well as all the cultivars.

                    Very true Palustris. But most common, that are flowering now are Aster novea -angliae or Aster novi-belgii.

                    My all time favourite is Aster x frikartii Monch.
                    Definitely worth seeking out.

                    https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Aster x frikartii Monch.&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&rlz=&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=JLN6UO7oOuXK0AW6hYC4AQ&biw=1091&bih=525&sei=KLN6UNv4H-ip0QW1jIHQCg

                    For anyone who lives near Malvern there is an excellent nursery that specialises in Asters.....
                    Old Court Nurseries and The Picton Garden Walwyn Road, Colwall, Malvern, Worcestershire WR13 6QE
                    Well worth a visit. See...

                      Also, near Coventry,in Baginton, there is Avondale Nursery. they have a wonderful selection.
                      Actually in our garden the Asters in flower now are mostly species and not the novae-angliae or the novae-belgica either.
                      Forgot about Upton House for the Aster amellus types, worth a visit in Aster week in late September.
