Many thanks  Oron- it was the cupiana part I could not recall - so annoying when it is a plant I really love, beautiful finely cut silvery-grey foliage and lovely white flowers with a bright yellow centre. When planted in a pot the plant makes a tight mound that ,when in flower is quite stunning. It also seems to thrive on neglect and can survive on very little water.
