Good morning everyone!
Today's image I have had since the summer, these flowers are my favourite flower and I don't know the name of them
They grow in abundance in the Isle of Wight, in gardens and wild on walls, My Mum used to say they where "Michaelmas daisy" but I dont think Mum was right on this one, as Michaelmas daisy grow tall and more "leggy"............ where as these are more stumpy and grow in clumps around eight to ten inch tall...................If anyone knows the name of my favourite flower? it will put me out of my misery
I am putting up a V2 just really to give a different view of the flower, V1 is my fave of the two ................. but you might disagree............
A big thankyou all for votes and comments and the laughs too on my last upload "Meanwhile.................. Back at the Ranch"

Quote: V.1 looks like a felicia, Diane, but not V.2. Were they both on the same plant? Well captured, whatever they are. Carol
Yes both on the same plant, these where growing out of a wall............... I have just googled Felicia, thankyou Carol............... But no its not that one.
Diane
Quote: It looks like one of the aster family, but I don't know specifically. It may be a type that is indigenous to that particular island.
Thankyou........ I too was thinking Aster if some sort, I have seen them here on the mainland too, just not as many as in the IOW.
Diane
Not sure of the species but two great shots of it. V2 for me.
Lovely lilac colour, Diane. Looks definitely like an aster, and they come in many shapes and sizes so could easily fit your description.
Dave
I do like both Diane but have to go for V1 for the composition, excellent colour and clarity.
Regards
Trev.
Whatever it is, they're two beautiful captures, Diane
Trev 
that petal in V1is enticing us into the picture
I just love it ....
I have these in my garden but had forgotten their name - so I have just looked it up and it is:
Erigeron glaucus is a species of flowering plant in the daisy family known by the common name seaside fleabane, beach aster, or seaside daisy. More can found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erigeron_glaucus. The very first photograph I put up on epz is of one of these lovely flowers ... Carol
V1 for me Diane, lovely colour and a good angle to capture it.
