Thanks for the answers. I think it is a Gazania. My next question. Will the seeds collected from this produce variegated plants? I might just have to lift this in the fall and keep it in the greenhouse. I really like the foliage.

Sorry and thanks all...once I got a positive ID response here I then went to my FB page and deleted the photo, without considering that additional folks here might try to also open up the photo. So that's why you got the error messages. Sorry for the trouble! Anyway, I do know how to upload photos here. I've done it in the past no problem. But lately it simply does not work for me. No error message. No photos uploaded. Just 'nothing'.

Can you add a photo of the whole plant so we can see the growth pattern? With what is shown, I will suggest blackberry.

I agree that it looks like Hydrangea macrophylla. But have no idea why they selected that for a zone 5 garden!! Unless it has winter protection, it is never going to bloom. And considering the difficulty most have with getting the remontant or reblooming (new growth) types to actually produce flowers, even those are not very good choices for a colder zone without protection!! It also looks like it is in full sun. Does it have inground irrigation? ETA: macs can be cut back to the ground and they will regrow quite easily. You will just miss any flowers for a season, even if you were to provide winter protection.
