What is it? While showing visitors around their garden, David and Sally Cannon were surprised to find a well-established hitherto undiscovered plant. All spikes, much like a cactus. Do you recognise it? It was eventually identified by the Royal Horticulural Society as Aciphylla squarrosa, a native of New zealand and mostly from alpine regions. Its common name is the Bayonet plant!
