Lol. I love to shoot them if they look pretty or unusual, but I don't really give a hang what they are called, whether it be a Pahlia or a Dansy :lol: :lol:

Sharp where it needs to be. I like the background and the spider web strands are a nice touch. Good work.

It bears a close resemblance to Brazilian Verbena (Verbena bonariensis). Attached are a couple of examples. Your flower appears to have bloomed itself about out...the spent blooms that form the masses underneath the blooms are not usually evident in early stages of blooming. Hope these help...not sure that this flower is native to your country.

Thank you Erich & Bob. It does look similar, Bob, but in different stages of bloom. Thanks for the info. Earl. :-)
