I have a mystery. The leaves of this plant look like a Mum but the flowers look more like a Daisy. What do you think? I thought it was a Mum that I planted last year but now I am puzzled. Duh It is a very pretty plant. I love it. thumbup It brightens up my garden - there is not much of anything blooming right now.

I find the leaves (to the left) look like a mum.

Here's a closer picture of the flower.

Hope you can help! Thanks in advance.

this is a mum indeed. very pretty this time of year, especially in a more wild garden, it can get a little out of hand..

Thanks Lenahyena. I am happy to know that it is indeed a Mum. You are also right about it spreading. I will definitely thin it out & probably move some to different locations in my garden so I can enjoy it again next year. It is gorgeous! thumbup
