    Well, I can see an Aucuba, a Cyclamen, Chives, Iresine, your wonderful Christmas cactus, a Pryracantha, a Privet, a conifer of sorts and a Laurus of some breeding ... oh, and an Aloe
    perhaps. Is there a Rosemary? :D

    And these are more intelligent guesses than your last quiz which I COULDN'T even attempt. [​IMG]

    Might be a lavender not a rosemary LoL. Didn't recognise the magnolia. I was drunk when I planted mine (all three of them). :D

    Without peeking at others' answers, I guess...
    1 - lilac?
    2
    3 - golden privet/box?
    4 - rosemary
    5 - dianthus
    6 -
    7 - laurel
    8 - juniper?
    9 - bamboo
    10 - aloe
    11 -
    12 - cyclamen
    13 - feverfew
    14 - easter/christmas flowering cactus
    15 -
    16 - liver leafy thing - spring flowering, begins with a 'p'- pink, blue or white flowers...!
    17 -
    18 - buddleiah (sp!)
    19 -
    20 - holly

    Great game - quite a few gaps in my guesses though!

    Which is the magnolia?

    I should know that wee red one, and the second from the ldft, bottom row - but can't think of the names! Maybe the magnolia is the one I thought might be lilac?

    pete, I've never seen a varigated Oleander ... we are quite common here in the Third World. :D

    JarBax, I thought the wee red one was an Iresine?

    Is it Holly or Mahonia?

    Is the second one a Euonymus?

    What's that spotty leaf to the right of the Christmas Cactus?

    I tink the little red one might be a berberis.
