Could anyone name this plant?
Idiotically I forgot its name right after buying it last week. I'm pretty sure it started with a C.
Many thanks in advance.

You're right, it does begin with a C - its Coreopsis grandiflora, common name Tickseed, a relatively short-lived, very floriferous perennial. Needs a sunny spot, give it some room, it tends to sprawl in its second year if it makes it through the winter (it sometimes doesn't make it through in colder regions).

Marvellous, thanks for putting me out of my misery Bamboo. I promise to pay more attention next time I'm buying plants!– TedAug 5, 2015 at 10:07

Just seen you're in the UK - fingers crossed it makes it through winter, we're supposed to have a bad one this year. I'll believe it when I see it though... got two of these myself, now 2 years old, love 'em for their long flowering period.– BambooAug 5, 2015 at 10:56

Google wasn't helpful in this case but it did find a lot of images of flowers similar to the one you posted!– SolAug 5, 2015 at 21:41
