I thought it might be A.sturi due to it glossy leathery leaves. Any one else know? Click on picture to make it larger. Here's some other shots of the plants flowers in spring and the leaves nearing winter.

Thanks again.

If planted as a small plant this year and it covers a square metre by the end of next season, then it's portenschlagiana David...  ;D ;D
