    Hi Guys,

    Please could you help me in the identification of this shrub? I've walked past it many of times and think it's really lovely, and would love one for my own garden :) I'm looking to find out the names of both shrubs if possible?

    Thanks for any help... Much appreciated! x x

    Looks like Azaleas, no idea which one though. Check out your local garden centres, they're all in stock and blooming right now. You'll find the one you like (or very similar).

    They prefer acidic soil.
