    found this growing around communal bin area and looks like it will flower?

    Any idea on this one? I was going to take a cutting if I work out what it is...

      Not Viburnum rhytidophyllum, the leatherleaf viburnum...which has rather narrow leaves..see pics below.

      Yes to Viburnum sp.

            The only help I can give is that it looks annoyingly familiar!

                Funny, this morning I was going to say Lantana camara ... but not in the UK so I didn't. Sure looks like it but have never heard if Viburnum lantana. Learn something new every day.
