Two of these seeds germinated from my tithonia surprise pack  I thought they looked like spurge of some sort, then one has flowered and the flower feels like helichrysum?? Any ideas on a name, or am I cultivating more weeds?  Flower not yet fully open (only comes out in direct sun at the moment), looks like it will be about inch and a half in diameter.  It would be nice to know what it is  x Tig |

No idea Tig. First glance at the leaves and I thought campanula but it's not that on closer inspection and I dont recognise the flower yet. Sure someone will get it for you. |

Could it be helipterum?

Flower has opened fully this morning, it hasn't got a black centre but otherwise it looks (and feels) like the description of the helipterum, and very nice it is too for a freebie  |

If I can I will save seed for anyone in the UK who wants to grow some - it wasn't difficult (unlike tithonia  ) x Tig |
