plantladylin said: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. ~


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.

Australis said:Hi Carole,

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).


Thank You!
If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.
