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.

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