Solved Are These African Daisies?

Are these African Daisies, because it has been grown into a tree?

 

Yep, osteospermums clum111

 

Osteopermum can get leggy and spread if they are not contained/cutback. I have never seen one clamber up a tree but I have seen Geraniums do it!

 

I once saw osteospermums trained up a cottage wall down here. Pelargoniums too.

 

Thanks. The second photo is the same plant, that's the trunk. It's my friend's & I was asking for him, because I've never seen an African Daisies to be grown as a tree.

 

Can you explain why the leaves are different in picture 1 compared to picture 2?

 

Errr, I can't actually. but its the same plant though. I'll ask him to rephotographed tomorrow.

 

That would be good because the flowers are not at all the same in the tree picture. ..

 

In the second picture, it looks like a rhododendron type flower and leaf to my tired eyes, but I could be wrong....

 

I agree they are totally different species. Neither Osteos nor Geraniumn/Pelargoniums have trunks.

 

Definitely not the same the 2nd looks like a Rhodo...the blooms are completely different with no dark centres.

At first I thought this was an old thread....an April 1st one!!

 

So love mysteries!!
