No 1 - Thymus capitata/Persian Hyssop/Conehead Thyme.
"From dry heaths and rocky places all round the sunny Mediterranean comes this quite delightful little aromatic shrublet. With small, narrow, stiff leaves neatly arranged along the somewhat spiny stems, it bears all summer into autumn conical spikes of pretty, purplish-pink flowers. Sometimes used as a condiment, the plant is also a source of an essential oil used to flavour such diverse foods as baked goods and ice cream. Since antiquity herbalists have found much medicinal value in it. 10ins (25cm)"
