    Alright, the first plant I'd like toknow what it is a large plant with blueish, succulent-type leaves and taller clouds of pink flowers in the late summer/autumn -

    The second is a very big shrub/tree that starts flowering in early spring through to summer. Clusters of pink buds with small white flowers and shiny blue-black teardrop shaped berries that the birds sometimes eat, and dull dark green foliage with lighter undersides.

    It would be a great help if you could identify these for me since the garden has recently passed from my mum's hands to my own and neither of us are sure what these are. The first was a cutting given to us by a neighbour who has since moved away and the other has been in the garden since before we had the house (although it was less than a fifth of the size then XD) Thankyou very much!

    ((Hope the image upload works okay and sorry for any poor grammar or typoes today. I've been working my butt off all week and I'm very tired ^^;;;))

      I'd agree with that Scrungee, Sedum; much loved by butterflies and Viburnum tinus :)
