I wondered about eleagnus - not because I know what it looks like, because I don't, but it does begin with 'e'  :roflanim:  I'll go and look at a pic.




Mmm - pics look promising.  I just googled 'eleagnus images' and they do look similar.

It looks like Eleagnus to me too. Do the flowers have a heady, sweet sort of scent?

thanks for your help.
stirred myself into searching,
found a website where you put some details in and it gives you lots of names.
I think it's olearia Haasti,

   It does look like that, but it doesn't begin with 'E'  :roflanim:   :tree:
