    I think a closer shot of the leaves would be helpful.

      I think the green/white one is Euonymus fortunei Emerald Gaiety but I am struggling wth the other. Are they little lavender flowers on it?

          I believe the little lavender flowers are Geranium oxonianum growing through it. Here's a picture taken in November, which shows the little yellow flowers on it.

            That's what I thought, Jasminum nudiflorum but there's something else growing there as Vicky suggested. :dunno: Can we have a closeup of those purple flowers and also the pink ones, please?

              Ah, a geranium makes perfect sense with those leaves, but what are those purple flowers?

              Yes, there's definitely some sort of geranium there, but I was referring to the purple petals at the bottom in the close up of the Euonymous, at first I thought they were berberis leaves poking through.

              EDIT: Actually they could just be discoloured nudiflorum leaves. :dunno:

              Yes there is a Berberis with leaves that colour, and I think I can see one about half way up as well.

              You were quick with that quote, I deleted my comment when I realised from the leaf shape they were probably a different Geranium
