Thanks Sandra/Morgana. Its so frustrating when you dont know the variety isnt it. Some of the plants in my garden were my Dads, mainly from cuttings so its always a mystery what we have but thanks to the brilliant GOY members, it doesnt take long for them to be identified. So nice to see shrubs flowering at the end of November.

Smashing Dawn....and to have the flowers in Autumn too.....I have an ordinary Ceanothus growing well, it had been a 50p bargain as it was nearly dead, but it's come on a treat, I'm hoping for flowers next Spring....:o)

I'll take a look at the pics Simbad - your'e like me, I'm a dab hand at snipping bits off plants. The parks are usually good places too. I broke a bit off someones Tamarisk in the summer, lol - well it was over hanging the footpath.

Dawn you vandal.......( you were pruning it were you not?)...this is a pretty one, and nice to have it flowering now when there are so few shrubs in flower at this time of the year.

Yes Dawn seeds cuttings anything,lol, pinched some seed from a park in London in October, went to see Mott the Hoople, don't know what the plant was the seeds are from but looked interesting so put them in a tissue, lol.
