Might be a Coreopsis Missy Krissy
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Calendula.
Ooooh! I was hoping someone would say calendula!
I would even go so far as to say Calendula officinalis. A k a pot marigold. The petals are edible and can be added to salad, or will colour rice as fake saffron.
Oh goodie! That's awesome, I have just bought calendula officinalis seeds to grow next year and I thought the ones I already have looked the same but wanted confirmation from more knowledgable gardeners!! I'm going to harvest some petals today for a homemade project my daughter and I are going to do!
Many thanks to to you all!
They are beautiful Patsy, I love the colour variations! Very quickly becoming one of my favourite plants!
We live in an old rented property with mature cottage-style gardens and I've noticed these little jewels for the last couple of years but haven't known what they are - so pleased I now know!!
I've just been reading up on the medicinal properties - they are truly amazing plants!
