 Can anyone ID this flower in a lovely planter I bought from Aldi for the very reasonable price of £4.99?

    The yellow one is a petunia. Don't know what the other one is. Looks like some sort of daisy image.

    It looks like one of the Surfinia type petunias that have loads of small flowers. THe other one might be an argyranthemum.

    Surfinias are the larger flowered petunias, bred to be trailing, come in many colours and are often used in hanging baskets.  This is the smaller flowered plant called calibrachoa - often also sold as a basket plant, although for me the flowers, while plentiful and pretty, are more useful in mixed containers as summer flowers rather than in baskets.

    Thanks everyone for your replies. This is in a mixed container along with a begonia, a fuchsia, and marigolds. I'm not sure how the fuchsia will fit in with the orange and yellow ones but I will see when it flowers. Still very good value for £4.99 I think!

    thanks again for your input.
