Name that flower/shrub?

doctor evil

Unfortunately I have no photos to hand folks.

We used to have it growing in the garden until it was dug up.

It had a yellow centre, slightly bigger than a one Euro coin with pink/pinkish petals. The stems and leaves were stubby and it was a good low lying bedding plant.

I'm really stumped as I want to find it again. I'll try sifting through old photograps.

Thanks

Was it a rock rose (cistus)? http://www.google.com/images?um=1&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-gb:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7SKPB_en&q=pink+rock+rose&ie=UTF-8&source=univ&ei=QR-6TOfVOIX34Aas_KHJDg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=2&ved=0CDYQsAQwAQ&biw=1259&bih=574

Oh, I was imagining the centre as being €1 coin sized, with pinkish petals around it, like some sort of daisy. OP you really need to give us a photograph, you are not going to get an identification from descriptions

Thanks for the replies, I'm trying to sift throught the mountain of photos.

The petals were thin and like a daisies in shape. I asked my parents and unfortunately they do not remember the name.

Sonnenblumen

Aubretia Double Pink?

Mesembryanthemum? Though most of them do not have yellow middles, they are definitely stubby in growth.
