    I purchased a flower arrangement for outside this year and in the pot was a lovely yellow flower, it is great.
    looks a little like a daisy. it doesn't need deadheading too often.
    is in sun almost all day.

    would like to know name of it so I can purchase it next year.

    had problem previously when i uploaded.
    have tried again.
    is it visible?

    Could it be a Gaillardia?

    yes this is my pic....
    it looks very much like a gaillardia but if compare the two side by side...it is not quite.
    the stalks of the gaillardia seem to be longer and leaves seem to be a little larger and softer looking plus the petals are slightly different too.

    i googled gaillardia and came up with this pic.
    what do you think?

    my yellow flowers are quite close to the stalk and the stalk itself is quite solid and not easily clipped thru when dead heading.
