    I have two shrubs that I'm not sure what they are (actually I probably have more than two, but these are the ones that are bugging me at the moment).

    Here's the first one - just to show my ignorance, is it a choiysia (spelling!!)?

    And the second one. I absolutely LOVE this bush. It's gorgeous, so pretty and delicate, just lovely. the bees seem to love it as well. And if anyone can tell me what it is, can you also tell me whether I'd be able to take a cutting from it because my MIL really likes it too.
    I looked in my book, and I thought it was an enkianthus, but I've just googled it, and now I'm not so sure.
