Can anyone Identify this bush
By Algardener
Portugal 
I got this plant from a car boot sale here in Portugal a few years ago. it has large felty leaves and is just coming into flower. The flowers are small and yellow, with no scent, but the bees love them. Many thanks if you can help identify it. I enclose updated photograph, flowers appear on the end of the red branches

Could this be Angelica Gigas? The only thing that makes me wonder is the shape of the leaf, angelica leaves tend to be more divided

No Angela, it's not angelica. Algardener says the flowers are yellow and the angelica has dark purple flowers. And as you say, the leaves are wrong.

Now I'm wondering if you've got a kalanchoe? What do our resident houseplant residents think?

no it isn't a kalanchoe. It is about 4 feet wide and five foot high, and the leaves are about 6 inches wide

Hi Algardener, could you describe the plant for us? What do the leaves feel like, are they thick or thin and papery? The flowers look red on the picture, I assume they open up and turn yellow, what time of year do they do this? Is it perennial and has it popped up year after year. What do the stems feel like, woody or succulent. I have found a Kalanchoe leaf which is an acidy yellow colour like the ones on Algardeners picture Andrew. By the way I'm Andrea not Angela LOL

Hi Algardener, does this look anything like it? It is Alchemillia Vulgaris - This is the like long one I know!

Do you think that you could post a close-up photo of the leaves and flowers? It might help.
