I've also seen garden centres selling what looks like the same plant
but covered in small orange berries. Is it the same plant?

David.

No it's a different thing. The name is on the tip of my tongue
but...........


Pin Cushion Plant: Nertera granadensis (Rubiaceae)

Thanks that's the one and not the name that was on the tip of my tongue:-)
Wasn't on mine either, but I knew which book to look in :~)

Now I come to think of it-I knew which book to look in as well but I have
almost forgotten about the good old favourites in favour of Google etc.
Too idle to move the laptop from my lap and go upstairs for the books:-)

Google is great if you can think of the right words to search
with........but sometimes a picture is worth more than a thousand words :~))
And my gardening books are 3ft away from my PC :~)
