| I love this flower. I saw it at some stately home's gardens and spent hours looking through a plant id book trying to find it. Eventually got the OH to agree to have one only last week!

| Flower That particular one is Osteospermum whirligig. The older it gets the more likely the petals will revert back to standard ones so cuttings every few years is advised.
