    No picture I'm afraid, just something I've seen in the past and now think might be good in my garden.
    I think it's a low growing, shrubby plant. Leaves are small, like rosemary, and silvery coloured.
    Flowers are white and trumpet shaped and quite delicate and papery. About 1" across.
    Thanks for any help-I've tried google, but it's hard with so little to go on!

    I looked for it also and thought pete was correct (not often that happens) but, yes, I noticed it's the same thing pete put up, daisybelle ... [​IMG] .

    I had to read it several times, David, so I forgot the comma ... get your mouth out of the gutter, please. :D

    By the way, I assume you still haven't got your nuts ??????
