    I got the shrub as a wee rooted cutting from a friend, and bought the blue-leaved daisy from a market stall. Both are very common, but to my shame I do not know what they are. Would love to know their proper names.

    The shrub looks like a Buxus ( box ) to me and the daisy looks like a variety of Argyranthemum ( marguerite ).:dbgrtmb:

    I can't say on the shrub but I agree with the Argyranthemum ( Marguerite ) as I have them in my garden. :)

    Is it rare? Are you (even a little) disappointed when your “new” observation is “common”?
