What flower do you think this drawing is?

Hi everyone, okay so this might be a bit of an unusual request but I'm trying to figure out what flower the artist could have been basing this drawing on. It's in a beautiful floral colouring book I've got. I know I can use my imagination, but I just want to know what it is! Is it some sort of daisy? I feel like I want to colour it purple but don't know any purple flowers that look like this

    There are purple osteospermums which would fit the bill, given some 'artistic licence'.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    An asteraceae of some kind. There's a good 30000 or so species and countless cultivars to choose from :#
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
