    I'm not certain by any means and happy to stand corrected but it looks like Libertia to me. If the leaves are evergreen then that would make it even more likely.

    Or maybe Sisyrinchium striatum.

      Hi Tremers,

      Definitely a Sisyrinchium Striatum. A hardy perennial with creamy coloured flowers. Worth keeping.

      Well done @Palustris and @Anthony Rogers I wasn't too convinced about my suggestion. The leaves looked right but not so much the flower head.

        Agree. The flower is Sisyrinchium and the spotty leaves underneath are Pulmonaria.
