Yes that looks even more like it!!
Thanks for ID

Couldn't make out the last bit on Sarah's label as it was getting dark
when I went over there last week.
Don't forget you were out when Sarah came to visit your nursery last
year, so no idea what the staff sold her!

Ah yes, I'd forgotten that. I'm puzzled because I didn't think we had
it on display but what do I know?! It's been spirited away to a tunnel
now and definitely isn't 'on show'!

Hers is doing extremely well and I must say looks better in situ
against a wall. very well fed and watered.

Mine looks just weird on it's own on the table on the patio. Would you
like it then?

I definitely didn't get it from my visit - it has yellow flowers which
I try to avoid !

But these are more *green* than yellow, Janet! ;-) Maybe she gave you
a bit from hers? I rather like it, though it's a bit unexpected in Pel
terms, I suppose. And trying to find whatever you might be describing
this morning, I learned of one with a faint celery scent to the leaf
called P. ionidiflorum and another really sweetly scented leaf called
P. radula. A celery scented leaf was a new one to me and just the other
day, I heard that there's a nutmeg scented one, too.
