Is there a sure fire way of telling a spent gazania flower and one that is
about to open.

I afraid I cannot help you - but it is nice to see that others have this
problem with some plants. I do and I thought I was being stupid.

Perhaps this is one of the arguements for dead heading daily. You catch
them as they are going over.

The obvious one is to wait and watch it. If it doesn't open then you know that you can cut it off!

Not exactly 'sure fire', but the spent flowers tend to have battered
looking petals. The new buds look very tidy....

I was noticing this myself.
Thanks

I'm on holiday all week. So I'm going to tag a bud and watch it every day to
see the flowering cycle.
Might even take some pics every day.
