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.
http://community.webshots.com/album/487370037xOdmVW . I think he wants to
know whether it is an annual or not.

Any info would be appreciated.

Spam? - there's nothing being sold here, it's just a webshots album, and as
far as I know, you don't get anything for having lots of visitors to your
album.

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.

sorry - I thought maybe it was a clumsy way to sell the silk flowers
advertised on the page :-(

That's the first time I've been accused of being a spammer, lol! I assure
you I have nothing to do with silk flowers or selling or promoting
anything!! - Just needed somewhere to post the sketch so used my webshots
album. The adverts on there are annoying but can't complain as it's a free
version of the programme.

It's a Gazania a somewhat tender perennial from South Africa. It can
be increased by cuttings in August/September or overwintered in a
bright, frost free spot. It is reliably hardy on the south coast, but
I very much doubt it if could withstand the cold of a German winter.
Generally these plants are so inexpensive, it is probably better to
start with new ones each year. They can be raised from seed in early
spring and there are some good strains around with a very wide range
of colours from pale cream through to intense mahogany.

Thank you, Dave. I'll email him your post.

Instead of a sketch can you get them to take a digital photo?

This would be a lot better then the sketch imo.

Thanks

Thanks, Mark, but Dave Poole solved the mystery - the plant is a Gazania.
