It is an Osteospermum, more commonly known as an African Daisy.

Thanks, @Andy90.

I really should educate myself about flora and fauna if i'm going to photograph them, any good online resources you could recommend?

if you're a member of Flickr (which I see you are) then groups you are a member of will readily ID animals/insects/plants for you if you post in the discussion forum for that group.

Google Image Search and Bing Lookup can also help

Over the years I've also found some good online sites as well

British Dragonfly Society
http://www.british-dragonflies.org.uk/

UK Moths
http://ukmoths.org.uk/

RSPB
http://www.rspb.org.uk/

Wildlife Trusts
http://www.wildlifetrusts.org/

UK Butterflies
http://www.ukbutterflies.co.uk/index.php

Hope those help
