Any idea what this is?

Updated photos to help. During the summer it was a ball shape. Any suggestions welcomed.

Thank you

 

Welcome to GC forums, MarktheShark

Unfortunately, I can't help with your plant ID, but wanted to welcome you to our world
I'm sure someone more knowledgable than I will be along to give you suggestions

 

would help to see a close-up of the plant

 

Hello and welcome Mark.

The thing in the picture is a plant, in a pot

Not sure what kind, could you post a bigger pic?

 

Hi Mark and welcome to GC.

I too cannot see your picture clearly ... could you put a closeup on?

Also, it would be helpful to know when you took this picture and your location.

 

Very leggy million bells?

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Mark,
a bit more light on your plant will help us to ID it. Anyway, wait til the day dawns and try again meanwhile, feel free to have a wander round,

Looks like a knackered-out lobelia to me, but it's hard to see properly. At least, I've got one that looks just like that.

 

Having seen the new photos, it's definitely not a lobelia.

 

Is it an Osteospernum or a cosmos?

 

It's not an Osteo but could well be a very straggly Cosmos as Jenny says. It's the leaves that are the answer ...

 

Ah, new pics.

I vote Coreopsis.

 

looks like a margarite but i don't think they come in that colour

 

I'm thinking Coreopsis...Ruby frost but

 

The leaves are wrong for marguerites. Also I'm fairly sure marguerites flowers have a lot more petals.

99% sure its Coreopsis
