I am trying to do a list of my plants on GOY And I have lost a lot of the labels from the plants I was wonering if the GOY members could help me out by telling me the names of these plants
Number 1 this is quite a large bush and green all year round
No 2 This is also green all year round but turns a lovely red colour at certain times of the year
This one stays green all year I bought from a garden center as it was something different
No 4 This one turns a lovely shade of grey/ blue
no 5

Agree with no. 1 - Choisya ternata, but 5 is a Skimmia, isn't it? 6 could be a Rhododendron, I think, from the one bud and the shape of the leaves. 2 might be a Viburnum but not sure (not tinus) 3 appears to be a fern - do you think, Donna? How big is it?

Hi Sprithenry no 3 is about 3 ins tall and about 12 wide

If its leaves are soft as well, then definitely a fern - I'll try to look it up in my Fern book - but later!

I agree Spritz 5 is a skimmia japonica but is 6 a pieris ? Just going on the leaf formation and the flower buds in a small cluster.

No 1 - choisya ternata
No 2 - possibly a photinia
No 3 - cyrtomium falcatum
No 4 - You need to get bluespruce on the case
No 5 - skimmia
No 6 - pieris?

No 4 - Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star'

No. 4 looks like Juniperus squamata a spreading juniper. There are several named forms and might be 'Blue Star'.

I'll say again just for those that need a bit more convincing - Juniperus squamata 'BLUE STAR'

Does nunber one have yellow flowers now?
Then Daphne laureola aka Spurge Laurel?

There seems to be some confusion over no 6. I thought it looked like Pieris. Could you put a photo of the flower when it comes, then it could be identified .
