But the flower on the picture *is* white. I cannot find info on persian
daisy. Some Chrysanthemums look similar to the daisy, with white petals
and a yellow center. What is the other word you have for persian daisy?


Well, here is another photo of the same plant,
http://www.softel.com.pl/~kattka/Tan...os/photo2.html, the flower is
not white, it is off-white, slightly pink (shell-pink?). As I have written
in my original post, it is Tanacetum coccineum, aka Chrysanthemum coccineum,
aka Pyrethrum roseum, aka persian daisy, aka painted daisy etc. etc. And
I've done Google search, there are at least 7 varieties with pink double
flowers and no photos at all:-(. Please help!

Regards, Barbara.
