Thanks Silver Surfer - looking at the pics in your links, that is exactly what I've got. I'm deciding the elder's fate at the moment, as my one isn't the shapliest thing in the world, and it doesn't even seem all that healthy or happy. Mind you, it has had an conifer planted right next to it...

Will do but isn't it windy in Japan?

philadelpus might have come without your doing (most likely)

I agree Pete, I noticed the leaf shape of Laburnum is very similar to that of the Cytisus broom... (Cytisus is now called Genista apparenty?)

Trunk certainly looks like a laurel.

Very true!

Have a look here:

One man's meat Palustris. Look at Mr Shiney's garden. Packed to the gunnels with Aquiliega and a beautiful sight to behold IMO. I have this Campanula, along with "Takesimana Elizabeth" which I like. She's tart that chucks it about like there's no tomorrow but I love her flower form. Now, ground...

Well those are my thoughts & if you google them & agree then yes hoik 'em out... I do like Self heal though.. :WINK1:

It looks like a Lemon to me, Oranges tend to have darker more glossy leaves. As mentioned it may never bare fruit but if it does you'd have to expect a wait of possibly somewhere between 5 and 10 years from seed, still good fun and satisfying knowing its grown from a seed/pip your son planted

Thanks :-)

More info on wiki. S. serrata, native to South America,[7] introduced in Germany (Hamburg) at least since 1920.[

Silver Surfer is right, unfortunately. It's often quite difficult to track down the names of roses. So many hybrid teas and floribundas are produced, and they can go out of fashion quickly. That yellow rose in your first picture: does it have a tinge of pink in it? If so, there's a good chance...

Brilliant - I'm sure that is it. Many thanks

found it.....Opuntia monacantha

yes would be nice if i could get gooseberries from them but unfortunately not I do have a gooseberry bush that is pretty much ready to crop at the moment though. Its weighted right down with dark gooseberries. My first batch. Last year I think the bush was attacked by saw fly or something...

Nice one thanku

Thank you pam for explaining in detail..this helps me a lot. Look forward to my cuttings.

1. Looks like Philadelphus innocence. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=Philadelphus 'Innocence'&rls=com.microsoft:en-US&oe=utf8&redir_esc=&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=rM_6T6vBItLX8QOq6OzCBw&biw=1091&bih=525&sei=r8_6T7vZJoeL8gPT9vm0Bw Normally Philadelphus have 4...
