Not mine - but I’d like to know the name so thst I can find it and buy it!
Absolutely smashing shrub about 2 and a half feet tall.
Leaves are VERY similar to rosemary - so I expected the leaves to have a fragrance. They had no fragrance though.
Tight little clusters of white buds. I would imagine that it would be great to use for foliage in a bunch.
Any suggestions, please??

Looks lovely!
I don't know it, so I did a bit of a search. I reckon it's an Ozothamnus. Maybe Ozothamnus rosmarinifolius, given what you say about the leaves.

You are clever, Martin.
That is definitely it- and honestly it really was lovely.
Thank you.
I hope to be able to find one soon.

Can you take some cuttings from the one you've seen?

No - it was in a Castle Garden, not a private one where I could politely ask the owner for a snipping.
My late mum had no scruples whatsoever and would regularly massacre any poor plant that she wanted a bit of.
I just think how much I would hate someone damaging one of my plants rather than asking me for a cutting.

My pal has asked for an ID of these, any ideas?  She saw them when visiting her son's grave at a woodland burial ground so I'm assuming they're native to Britain.

Looks like Linaria maroccana . So not native, but very pretty
Builder that would like to go play in the garden.

That's it, by the look of it, I'll let her know. Thanks SC

Looks exactly like the 'Fairy Bouquet' mixture I got from Premier Seeds.
