    I saw this at a local nursery. It didnt have a name on it.
    Any idea what this beautiful flowers name might be?

    Not sure, but it kind of reminds me of a Dhalia.

    It is definitely not a Dahlia. The plant in which it is blomming is very very small. It looked like a daisy plant.

    Bellis perennis flore pleno, but all the ones I know have still got a paler coloured flatter centre to the flower.

    It looks like a Double English Daisy Tina. Whatever it is it's certainly a little beauty. :stew2:

    Yup, Bellis Perennis, maybe one from the 'Tasso Series'.
    Very pretty!

    What a coincidence -- I just saw a flower of this sort yesterday shopping at Whole Foods! They sure are pretty! I picked it up to buy it and then thought I'd research it first.

    The tag said it is a Bellis -- just the name Palustris said. They had 4 or 5 different shades ranging from a dark magenta to the palest pink.
