We think the flower (plant) is so very common that we can't find a
picture and name (English or Latin or Dutch) on internet. We call it purple
daisy, however that is not the right name. Please, who can help us?
I am thinking of the mesembryanthemum ("Hottentot fig") that grows
over the walls in Cornwall and the Scillies. That is a purple
daisy-like flower.

Looks as though I'm wrong in calling it Hottentot fig. Just looked
that up and it's similar but yellow. The mesembryanthemum is purple.
But I don't think that would be hard to identify, either from other people
or from a Google search.
