Apologies. The pessimist doesn't see what's in front of his eyes
because he doesn't EXPECT it to be there. In fact, Silverhill do offer
a few buchus species (and perhaps if we ordered some from them and
gently suggested...., future catalogues might offer more). The ones
listed in the current (Jan 99) catalogue are:
Agathosma ciliaris (Zone 8, aromatic, clustered white/mauve fls, to
2');
A. crenulata (Zone 8, aromatic, white flowers, sun or semi shade,
likes moisture, to 2m);
A ovata (Zone 8, aromatic, compact, showy white/mauve fls, to 3m);
A. thymifolia (Zone 9, 'very showy shrub,' fls mauve in terminal
clusters, to 1m);
Coleonoma pulchellum;
Diosma acmaeophylla (Zone 8, aromatic, white fls, to 2m).
(Treat the Zone indications with caution, I'd suggest.)
But no Sheilanthera, alas, so I'm still looking for a chance to try my
Paul Hogan line on somebody...
