    I have 3 plants I need identifying, 2 of Shiney's that I took a particular, um, shine to and something that's growing in one of my beds. I think it's a sort of tree and it's in completely the wrong place whatever it is.
    Thank you for your assistance!

    Lindsay, are you refering to the purple leafed plant in pic 1? If so, it's a giant sempervivum.

    The plant in pic 2 with the red tulip growing through it is epimedium. :blue thumb:

    Thanks all, thanks Shiney :)
    I shall go and google those and happily remove the tree without worrying I should be trying to save it.

    Would you like some purple leaved Aeoniums as companions? or are they not your thing? If so I can put some by for "next time"

    I've had a word with the boss and she says thank you very much but they aren't hardy and she doesn't want to have to look after them in the winter. :blue thumb:

      At what point in time/history do you suppose an expression like that will become "Now you're typing"? :heehee:
