Sorry I've not been around much, it's rather manic here. But I've managed to find time to offer you all this one.

Bottlebrush shrub?
Bigger picture would help.

I don't think it's a bottlebrush. Nice to see you Earthbabe. Do we get a clue.

Peter you are way off geograpically anyway - botanically I don't know, not my strength.

No clues other than that at this stage.

I have a bottle brush plant and it is definitely not one of those.

It definitely isn't. My neighbour used to have one but managed to kill it this year - he told me how but I'm surprised at him!

It is one of my fave plants in my garden and took me a long time to find locally.

Argh - I was admiring these at Ness Botanic Gardens on Friday, but can I remember the name? No.

Sorry HF it isn't but having googled it with your spelling (which seems to be correct) I have to admit that that is a rather attractive plant too.

Default OK I'll give you a clue
It's a highly aromatic perennial (well there's a surprise seeing as it is in my garden!)
