Solved What's this?

Was watching a gardening programme and spotted this plant. Sorry about the poor photos, but I was photographing a paused image on a screen! One with flash on, the other without.

Thanks,

Nick

 

Hi Nick. It rather looks like Gazania but the petal shape is wrong being heart shaped. It would be nice to see the leaves. @Silver surfer will surely know.

 

@Victoria Thanks for looking, I think I may have solved it myself! Tagetes patula...

Striped French Marigold Seeds (Tagetes patula)

French Striped Marigold

Butterfly-friendly and tolerant of clay soil too apparently, might have to add that one to my front garden!

Think you hit it spot on there Nick. They are lovely. Funny, I have never had success with Marigolds here!
