Came across this today:
Achillea Anthea
http://www.cornwallgardens.com/perennials.htm
Small light pale yellow flowers in large heads above fronds of silvery foliage
Thought it might be of interest to one of our members ;)
To our members. Have you found a cultivar with your name, or members of your family?

That's a very interesting challenge you've set us there George.
Definitely some research to be done on that one. :D

Cupressocyparis ovensii ? Ovens Cypress
Oh dear, was hoping for something a little more exiting than that ::)

Very nice George, thank you.
I find also that I am always coming across Hardy plants ;D
I suppose an Erica Hardy Heath doesn't count? ::)

Hey, we'll let you away with that one Eric!

Good find there Malcolm. Must have a look tomorrow to see if I can locate a supplier of Ovens Cypress for you :)

And not too expensive either. ;)

Yes, their plants are reasonable Malcolm. Unfortunately, the shipping cost is a bit high to get to me in N Ireland.
Have you found anyone who sells your named plants Laurie?

Paul has one on this list of the plants which he has trialled called Achillea 'Anthea'
Looks like a nice one for us all to try!
-
Achillea 'Anthea' raised by Alan Bloom named for his daughter Anthea.
Introduced in 1982 it was selected for it's compact habit and silvery foliage colour.
We have some newer ones from the USA which I will add to the web pages as they become available.
Paul.
-
Are the US ones available in the UK Paul?
-
Heres one for Anthea, Eric :)
Very nice, George, I have shown it to my Anthea and she likes it. ;D
-
I didnt realise that I had posted the same plant earlier, Eric.
However, I didnt know then that it was one of the plants that Paul had trialled.
Heres the WPG list again:

I had forgotten too ;D :o ??? ::)

Well, the good thing is, its drawn our attention back to it again and (new knowledge to us since the first posting) it is now more of an integral part of the forum since it is one of Pauls plants.
Now then, who will be the first to say - AH, Ive got that one growing in my garden ;)
