Hi Hetty..thanks for the lead ..it certainly looks like some type of Monadenium..not sure which type..I remember the plant seems to grow in a cascading habit, not growing upright like the Monadenium ritchei. And the blooms of this one are small white ones, I saw photos where the M. ritchei have pinkish colored blooms. I'll research a little more or maybe if I get to pass by the Ruth Bancroft gardens in summer I can ask what they call it.
