I be willing to bet a doughnut that this plant is Osteospermum
'Whirligig'. Looks very similar to the gaillardia, but it isn't one.
It's white with a pink or blue tint, the center-eye of the flower is
blue and the petals are spoon shaped, flaring open at the ends. The
flowers close at night.
We have them. I also found a pink variety that we've just potted up
last week.
