    salicifolia is a Hebe which grows to 3m by 3m, so would be well foliated to support it`s size.:gnthb:

    Dai, you probably realised I meant the blackish dead seed head, not flower.

    Hi - I'm having real problems with uploads from my camera but I finally got the close-up of No.2 to work. Hope this helps.

    I'll try again with the others in the morning if the light is good.

    regards
    Gavin.
