Ray was given this some time ago and we've never had a certain ID on
it. Does anyone happen to know which it is? I hope the pic is clear
enough because it's too late to take another now! It's probably about
2' tall in a pot and it's one of the 'beefy' ones.

Looks like a Comosa X Pole avensii hybrid, whether its got a name or not
I dont know


Thank you so much, Charlie. This has jogged Ray's memory and he thinks
it came from the head gardener on a local estate. This man died a few
years ago but he was a frequent visitor here and had a passion for
white flowering plants. I've done a Google image search on this and I
think you've hit it. Thanks from all of us, especially as the donor was
a particular favourite of us all.
