Shame to get rid of those. I hope they'll plant them somewhere else :o)

The extra bit is to become a shed at the end of their garden and its planned to keep the plants on top, I have asked if they didn't want them ; )

do you know what the one with yellow flowers is stevie? it looks a bit like the plant i found on holiday ~ presumably self-seeded 100 foot up a cliff??

It's really a shame it will go down soon.
Sticki - I know what the plant migh be;-)
and will tell you - it looks like Sedum 'Green Mantle'

thanks kasy, not sure thats the one i saw then cos the flowers on that were almost 2" across??? and the stems were about 12" tall?

in that case maybe it was errr arrrrr....forgot the name... just learned the common name yesterday - Rose of Sharon?
Oh, yes - Hypericum.
Can easily convert 2" to cm - about 5 cm, but 12"??? just wait.
