Name That Plant!

Need help IDing a beauty and a beast

10 years ago

The beauty is the plant with the lovely pink flowers that I frequently see around these parts. The beast unfortunately keeps growing around my mandarin. It's almost viney underground, meaning I'll pull out a clump, and the root travels underground to the next clump. And it's rather stubborn to remove but I'm worried it's wrapping around my mandarin roots. Maybe crabgrass? Thanks!!!

I'm thinking the daisy is an Argyranthemum looking at the foliage.

I think you are right, Flora. I just saw that wonderful rosy red color and right away thought painted daisy. I see that Argyranthemum has cultivars in the same lovely shade.
