I think it looks like Clarkia but wouldn't swear to it. xx

Thank you, Pete. Frassino is not a fruit tree but I just posted it to be extra sure that the mistery leaf was not a frassino.

thankyou all 4 answers

John, dogwood, dogwood, who said dogwood remember my plain old common dogwood planted in the wrong place

Woo,You be careful now otherwise you will be back (xcuse the pun ) where you started :rolleyes:

Thanks guys! thats great info. If thats what it is and it could flower in spring then I'll keep it where it is I think. I'm going to clear way everwhere is gorwing new plants though I think. I was thinking of putting a jasmine next to it up against our tool shed.

If the flowers and the leaves on the two plants are indeed identical, then LoL's hypothesis is probably correct. I wasn't putting forward an alternative to be bloody minded, just for further consideration.

Thanks both, I've had another look and I think it's the Eleagnus. Quite pleased as it will grow in shade.

I wasn't sure afterwards as you said it had light green leaves as solanum usually are mid to dark green but a variegated one might be lighter green. I have not seen one so I am not really familiar this particular type. I am not sure if they are as winter hardy as the green one.

The dwarf conifer could be almost anything. The cyclamen is Cyclamen persicum. They say it is hardy, but the first frost will wipe it out!

Sarra, I like to see spiders in the garden, like worms they are working for us in the background, if, however, you want to get rid of them you would have to use an acharicide. Insecticides will not work, and I have never known a retailer who sold acharicides. David.

Sorry strongylodon. We crossed

Oh yes I agree. Nice one Whis4ey.. If it is one of the ornamentals it could grow to 3ft x 8ft after 10yrs. So I would keep it trimmed to the size you want it to be. They like to be trimmed in early to mid summer. Very attractive plants... Nice present. Look up the varieties again when it is...

Euphorbia is Spurge, but the plant could also be Pittosporum tobira. David.

They seed like crazy, I like them but not in my garden, they are also known as Chinese nutmeg. David.

What i really meant to say was i know what suckers are but didn't think lilac bushes had them :confused:Making myself clear as mud again

Hello David, strongy and PeterS. I have also been away for a couple of days plus had the phone lines down so have just read your answers and thank you for replying.PeterS, it is only a small cutting I have and those stems do not appear to be square and no, it does not appear to have any...

Thanks Strongylodon

Your joking. They change plant names? I'm never going to learn this gardening stuff.
