Stumped on flower ID

[Starsphinx]

OK I am normally great at identifying stuff - I can normally track down what I want via similar stuff and refining my search - but this one I am finding nothing similar.  I have even done a direct image search on google - and nothing (or at least nothing refinable)

I have a purple pink daisy type flower with a group of purple petals growing out of the centre - and I cannot find anything for flowers with petals growing out of the middle.  I have uploaded a small image for people to see - but can someone please give me and idea of species or where I can look to identify this  (I know what the darn bee is - that was the easy bit lol)

Its not uncommon to see this.

 

Hope this helps

Thank you so much you are wonderful.  The garden where I took the shot had several plants the same and it looked planned so I guessed it was  deliberately chosen variety available.

I can now finish keywording
