Trond, I commented in another topic about your crystal clear photographs these are stunning and they reveal such intricate detail on the rim of each flower... are you using a new camera? How hardy is this Erica? Are the flowers fragrant?

Ditto on the exquisite detail, Trond.
Those stamens really make the flowers jump out!

Thank you guys
Mark, as I told, not a new camera but a sunny day for once
This heath has survived for many years in my garden and both the two harsh winters we have had recently. However the tallest stems got damages and I cut the plant down last spring but it resprouted from the base.
I have not discerned any fragrance.
