John Mitchell Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Does anyone know what this flower is? I suspect that it's some type of daisy, but being botanically challenged, I'm not sure. Thanks a bunch in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
photomi7ch Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 You are right it is described as daisy like which means it could be one of thirty odd varieties. That is as close as I can get. To be honest I have stopped making images of flowers I do not no the name of in advance It saves a lot of time on research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radim Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 look at doronicum https://www.google.cz/search?q=kamzi%C4%8Dn%C3%ADk&espv=2&biw=1600&bih=785&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjXwJP135PMAhWBKJoKHXLrDOwQiR4IkgE#tbm=isch&q=Doronicum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clare Gainey Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Doronicum orientale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I'll agree with Clare. Definitely a Doronicum, probably orientale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted April 16, 2016 Author Share Posted April 16, 2016 Thanks very much. How about the little notches at the end of some of the petals visible in my image? Some pictures of the Doronicum orientale seem to show notches, but others don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some pictures of the Doronicum orientale seem to show notches, but others don't. That's not uncommon, John. It could be a touch of frost damage to the bud. D.orientale is fairly compact, to about 18inches high and has broadly spear shaped, serrated foliage. I grew the cultivar 'Mrs Moon' years ago but it's failed to thrive in my current garden (soil too acid, probably). Was your specimen in a garden or in the wild?

Agree, for shooting flowers, I now go in the botanical garden and make sure to take a photo of the name first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Wikipedia, Doronicum orientale has "escaped cultivation" and has been found growing wild here in Canada. However, this specimen was tame -- i.e. in someone's garden. It certainly looks as if Doronicum orientale (Leopard's Bane) is the most likely suspect. Thanks again. Without the expert Alamy Flower ID team (AFID team), I'd still be wandering aimlessly through fields of daisies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
