Hi Anton. I would agree with Slinky - Pieris. It's very slow growing. The red leaves are the new young growth, which is the main attraction.

Thanks, Sis. As lovely as they are, they do need space and something like that would need a solitary space too.

The second one is a Berberis thunbergii atropupurea.:thumb:

Well i always used to grow marrows, so if your into eating them long before they are ready, I'd say they are courgettes.:D Not cues or pumps, is my guess.

I'm with peteCorokia cotoneaster Wire netting bush.

Thanks so much, I like to know what's in the garden so I can find out about it!The pots are from Argos Susannah, £39 for 3 (varying sizes). They have holes at the bottom already, I think they look alot more expensive.Craig - how lovely to pick some for your g'friend, sure she'll love...

Very, John, and they are stunning. Because they are part of the Rhododendron family they will also grow well in shade, The deciduous Azaleas, not only give you the same, vibrant colours, but many of the varieties are highly scented.:thumb:

Thank you PalustrisThat's it, checked out with the "Layman's Guide to British Wildflowers" and it's a match!Cherrybim

Thanks Walnut.

Oh dear, it is a weed then! oh well, cant win everything

They're great Whis4ey! You must have a big garden to cope with that monster whisk. The leaves on the one in my pic are very small and almost round. I'll keep looking and try and find a small branch the squirrels might knock off. I'm determined to find out what it is.Thanks:thumb:

Dave, the flowers on Exochorda are only small. I`m going to a garden tomorrow where there are 2 and will try and take a photo for comparison.:thumb:

"Sticky buds" to me too - Sticky willy ????

Asparagus Falcatus it is, then!The photos match up and looking at further information around the web it seems I have a stunning, herbaceous vine with huge twining stems that climb to 15 feet.Wow!Thanks for your help - I'd best get it back indoors!

Many thanks for the information !

:eek: I have it in my lawns ,spreading and smothering the grass, ought to be outlawed! Where on earth did it spring from...is it an import..or have I been lucky until now????????:confused:

Hi CP Have these in the Garden They are called Passionale there are some slightly darker one Called Nigrita.

i kinda thought that but being new and inexperienced i didn't wont to make a mistake:D

When I say small BM, I mean small! Mine is about 5m square. I've got a silver birch in there and I really don't think there's room for anything else! This is about the extent of it

isn't it becoming invasive in some places? I'm sure I saw something about it on TV
