Patience? Time on my hands? Trying every lead you can think of. It took me 10 min tonight to find a supplier of broad leaved thyme. Tried all sorts of entrées till I found a really great chap in Suffolk.

Hi Kitty

Unfortunately I do not know what they are.  They are very small and perfectly formed.  the colour is maroon/bronze and beautiful ! 

It grows on my patio between the slabs.

Have done a google without success but will carry on looking.
;D :D
