Desfontiania spinosa

That's a cracker Meanie. Looks a sturdy plant too.

Had to google this plant. I would not mind to grow it as it does not need full sun. The flowers look very interesting,

Thanks!

SL - I have two and will plant one out next year, keeping the other as a back-up.

Klahanie - the only drawback may be your winters?

Zone 7- 8 here Meanie. Probably same as yours in Oxfordshire? Very seldom gets much below freezing .

Sounds similar. This will be undercover for this winter at least..................

It prefers acidic soil too.

Thanks and good luck with it. I will keep my eye open for it but will not hold my breath to find it. Living on the Island will not get you the convenience of finding specialty item of any kind :-) But I am not complaining it was our choice of a lifestyle.
Take care.
