The flowers are a creamy white to light pink - much much lighter than my 'Robyn Gordon.'

Thanks in advance.

Hi seeing you are from the USA, I have put a link on as Iam not sure as I cannot see the flowers very well.

Have a look at the link and click on the photos you may see it there. It could be Misty Pink or Pink Surprise or maybe Superb...Cheers...MM.

This looks a little bit like "Kay Williams" which I have. If someone can tell me how to post a photo (I can't work it out!) I will put one here for comparison.

Hello Kickstand778

From your photo, I believe it would be either Misty Pink or Pink Surprise. Flowers from Pink Surprise are bigger/longer than those for Misty Pink, from what I've seen.

Cheers,
Frank

Hi again, with apologies for the delay after saying I would post a pic. Thanks to Mistymorn for instructions, but unfortunately the security setup on my PC is blocking this! But clever hubbie is working on it …

In the meantime, I found a website which pictures Kay Williams. Click on the thumbnails for a larger pic.

I had another look at your plant. The photo shows it quite small. The two cultivars I mentioned will normally grow to about 4m, so unless it has been regularly pruned to keep it that size, it could be something else.

Cheers,
Frank

The plant sold in nurseries labelled as G. Misty Pink is as your plant - silvery leaves, wider than G. Kay Williams, and the pink and cream flowers. It tends to be more compact and low - only to 1-2m or so. G. Kay Williams tends to be 4m and straight up.

Thanks, that "Kay Williams" looks very close. The size of the plant is small because it was planted only a year ago.
