    Nahhh, I don't think they're muddled @Beckie76, nature/climate has forgotten to add summer to the other three in recent years. :doh::)

      Gloriosa

      WP_20150804_002.jpg

      Bought this as a Gloriosa Rothschildiana, however going by descriptions I reckon its Gloriosa Superba.

          Hi nFrost,

          The first one is a Cinquefoil (Potentilla )

          The second is Leucanthemum Superba ( Shasta daisy ). It could either be " Esther Read " or " Wirral Supreme ".

          The third is a Helenium, don't know the actual variety, there are loads.

              Hi Anzia, it definately looks like it. However, mine is planted on a north facing fence so only gets Sun towards the end of the day yet your link says full Sun.

                        Eryngium agavoides? If so it looks ten times better than mine. What's the secret?
