Plant ID: 76517 is the blue version - where could I add the white one?

http://www.plantinspirations.c...

Hi Carole,

They don't list a cultivar name for the white variety (although they do for the blue one - Felicia (Felicia amelloides Pinwheel™ Periwinkle)), so I'd suggest contacting them for the cultivar name. Otherwise, the best option is to just add it to the general species entry:

Blue Daisy (Felicia amelloides)

Often you'll find that the species entry contains photos of different colour forms - many species have a white (or yellow or green if it's an orchid) variety in addition to the regular colour (these are typically referred to as the alba form but aren't distinct enough for a separate taxonomical entry).

thanks for your suggestions Joshua; much appreciated.

@Australia, thanks Joshua, appreciate your suggestions.

Do you think this suffices/or not?

I'm afraid not, as that is a completely different species and genus. Are you trying to identify a plant you already have?

Is there a white variety of Felicia amelloides? Everything I find says blue or sky blue ray flowers with yellow center.

I wonder if this is the one you are looking for? Marguerite Daisy (Argyranthemum frutescens)

Well, nope - that is not the plant in your photo, different leaves and bloom.

Hi Lin, well yes that was the same as noted in the link supplied earlier post. I wondered if it was the same as what I have? (I also do have a blue version, so I thought this would be simple )

This is my white daisy or marguerite or....? (also inserted in initial post). I've often referred to them as Felicia. Leaf surfaces have a very fine tooth.

Thanks for trying to help with ID.

The leaves sure look right for Felicia amelloides, perhaps it's a hybrid?

If an exact ID cannot be obtained but it can be narrowed down to one of the genera listed on the Aster parent entry (see below), then you can add it there:

Asters (Aster)

So, you aren't sure it's Felicia? If the leaves have toothed margins, I wonder if it might be a variety of Leucanthemum? Shasta Daisies (Leucanthemum x superbum)



or Montauk Daisy (Nipponanthemum nipponicum)

thanks Lin and Joshua both - I've just written to supplier to enquire for a correct reference. Will update here if received and take it from there.

Hopefully you can get an ID, Carole!

This Nursery: http://witbos.co.za/plant.aspx... lists a white hybrid and there's a photo of the blooms on the right side of the page. Their description: ~ Felicia amelloides *White - Compact bush with masses of white daisy flowers plant in groups in mixed borders for a startling splash of white. Cut back to shape and deadhead often for more flowers. Beautful white patio plants in clay pots or mixed bowls. Feed with 3:1:5 slow release or organic fertiliser and water regularly for best results. ~

thanks Lin; yes I've written to them for a possible expansion on ID. Watch this space

I'll be watching because I'm very curious; the leaves sure look like Felicia to me ... but then, I'm old and my eyesight isn't the greatest until I have the cataracts removed!

Lin this is what I have - identical features other than colour, of the blue form. Hadn't gotten a response re my query for a cultivar name of the white version though, so ....

@Australis Joshua, will go ahead and add to the general species entry, Blue Daisy (Felicia amelloides) as you had suggested in part, first instance.
