I can't really tell from the picture but does the flower look like half of daisy or a fan? If so it's a Scaevola aemula 'Blue Wonder" common name Fan Flower. It's a wonderful plant--drought resistant--I've grown it in sun or partial shade--an annual in most zones. It is one of my favorite flowers for containers but unfortunately I haven't found it this year in my tiny town. |

yes, Joann is right it is scaevola. We own a greenhouse & it is a great flower, easy, no deadheading & loves the heat. We also grow it in white, yellow, & a new pink this year. Enjoy! Beth |

Beth, Wow, white, yellow and pink--If I was closer I'd drop by and pick up a flat! : ) I can't figure out why I can't find it here this year--We have a couple of small nurserys here but they seem rather sparse this year and never really think out of the box--geraniums and marigolds seem to pay there bills. |
