How odd that they would also have another one called Santolina chamaecyparissus 'Lemon Fizz', websites show both species names but I wonder if they are one and the same. Seems strange that they would both be 'Lemon Fizz'. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/185094/

They do look the same. When you say 'they' who are you referring too?
I see Sunset calls it Santolina virens 'Lemon Fizz

Oh look, the flowers are little pompom puffs. I wonder what color.

They as in various websites when I Googled both names. I got my name from the SF Landscape show but I'll have to go back and double check the tag to make sure of that species name.

My Mom has one, that's the one I photographed. I didn't remember to get the flower pictures.

Ok I just checked my tag image and it said simply Santolina 'Lemon Fizz'. I must have Googled it at the time and got the species name that way. I am going to have admin move my images over to Santolina virens.
