    My mother has had this growing in her Garden for over 30 years, it was there when she moved in. It was badly needing divided so I took one home last time I visited. It has already flowered earlier this year in its old home but as you can see I have a flower coming. The flowers are like large daisies. Any ideas? TIA

            Thank you all very much, definitely Celmisia Spectabilis. Hopefully it will be happy in its new home in the wet west of Scotland? Only time will tell I suppose. :ThankYou:

              It was thriving in a garden at Cove on the Rosneath peninsula, near Helensborough
