Help the all Seasons Gardener!
What on earth is the name of this plant?I should know it, and as soon as somebody tells me, I shall remember, but right now I cannot bring it to mind and having spent about three hours peering through one gardening book after another trying to identify it by sight, I'm in a very bad mood indeed.
Whatever it is, I want to get one for my garden, and like most shrubs, it'll probably cope best if it's planted in the autumn and allowed to over-winter before putting on spring growth, but unless I can come up with the name, I can't order it ...

Mmm. If you were Down Under I would say, according to the flower shape, it was some variant of Acacia ... but pretty doubtful if you grow these in the UK, as they like arid conditions.

I think it may be a form of Buddleia (Buddleja). Possibly 'Golden Glow' or 'Sungold'.
I'm trying to propagate one from a 'cutting' from a neighbours front garden ;-)
It's Buddleia globosa. Semi-evergreen, prefers well-drain soil, full sun and is frost hardy down to about -5C. Flowers in early summer.
