Beautiful show Mark !
Marvelous gardens.

I think the Helichrysum is H. milfordiae.

I second Lesley Luc. The leaves are different and the flowers bigger, I think.

Now that I'm home I'll get the best online. The wireless connection at the hotel was quite slow.

Day Three - Larch Cottage Nursery
An unbelievable collection of plants. If you need dwarf conifers get there and buy some. They are expensive but it's the best collection I have ever seen

Only two photos here. Two new Geraniums ibericum 'Ushguli Grey' and ibericum 'White Zigani'

I love that cistus, and the magnolia looks glorious.
Was it one of the scented ones? I love the smell of magnolias.
I have never been able to grow them that well in Huntly, rhodos and Pieris no problem but I just can't get Magnolias to flower.
