I've often bought this from the wholesaler but don't know its proper

anyone know its real name?

Googling for September flower (which I'm sure you've done) reveals
that the birth-flower for September is the aster (or morning glory),
which would tie with your description of it being like a Mic daisy.
Sounds rather as if your plant just an aster variety.

I'll do as Spider suggests and ring the florist wholsesaler tomorrow but
I doubt they'll know the proper name. It's always just sold as
'September flower' and I've never heard a name for it.




Actually, Sacha, it was David who suggested ringing the wholesaler.
If I had made a comment it would have been that I couldn't see a pic
in the first place ;~).


Sorry to David!


Did you check out Aster Pretty Wendy ?


I have now and I'm sure that must be one of them. Istr white and a
lavender blue. I've got to go to the wholesaler on Monday anyway, so
I'll ask then for the name of the blue one. Many thanks, David for
finding that for me.
