I D please.

He's probably sitting in his rocking chair, smoking his pipe, with a glass of something in front of that fire, that the cat likes. :D

 

is it the fire, the drink, the pipe, or the rocking chair that the cat likes?? In our case - it'd be all of it!! :D

 

Yeah, probably all of it, sometimes my english aint that good.

 

sorry, it's the teacher in me!

 

OK..OK!!..I went out and took a pic for you both..What do you think..nice slippers or what?? :D
And here's one I took earlier!
Leaves popping out?not flower bud?

 

:D :D :D And I don't allow the cat to smoke in the house!! :D :D

 

What a meanie! :D

 

Tell you what - that slipper gives a whole new perspective on things!! It's not a cotoneaster, is it???? Why didn't you put your foot in it before!! It's so different when you see the size of the leaves!

Oooops!
Didn't realise a size eight slipper could make so much difference to a plant.Next time I'll use a tape measure for scale...sorry folks

 

Pete, I have a leaf now that Paladin sent me - would you like to see it too? If so, I'll post it - It doesn't seem like cotoneaster either, not leathery enough!! I dunno! But I'm keeping on looking! :D

 

I'm still convinced its piptanthus, but you can post the pic of the leaf if you want, I'm not just going by the leaves, the stem looks the same as well. As I said Paladins plant is in a bad way, its been dug up for starters, but it looks like its been starved where it was growing.
Although they are evergreen they tend to lose some leaves in the winter, and only the smaller ones are left.

 

It is looking a bit down..would it be better in a warm place or ok outside? The weather is wet but not cold here.And what about a little feed?

 

They like it well drained, so maybe best under cover, but heat shouldn't be required. No feed.

 

leaf will be on it's way tomorrow!

 

:D Most travelled leaf in the country...and still no passport ID :D
