Hi all. I have a friend in Germany who would like to know the name
of a plant he has growing outside his home, he says it reminds him of
a marigold and has flowered all summer. He's made a sketch of it
with a brief description which can be seen here.

wants to know whether it is an annual or not.

Any info would be appreciated.

Sketches? - have we gone back to the dark ages? - I can't make out what it
is, ask him to borrow a camera and post a photograph.
