Shrub identification.

Hi,
Does anyone have any idea what this shrub is, it stands about three feet tall and most of the leaf growth has occurred this summer. It looks a bit like some sort of rose, but there are no thorns, or flowers (so far).
Sorry about the picture quality, my camera is rather ancient (0.3MB)

Hi Vib,

welcome to gc forum, it looks like a rhododendron to me, but its probably a magnolia or something, not that great on id-ing from photos that much.

 

Hi Lollipop,
I'm glad you could see the pictures (there should be three), for some reason I can only see the first and then only intermittently???

Cann't see the pictures Vib only the red cross.

 

Hmmm I think possibly viburnum?:confused:

 

Can´t see. Sorry.

 

I can't see the pictures either, but managed to see them at:

Might be Camellia ?

Edit: Hahaha .. and having followed those links I can now see them in this thread (cached I expect)

 

There we go:thumb:

Hmmm...Magnolia is a distinct possibility but i don't think that it's Camellia

 

Possibly a camelia or perhaps a duponica. Hard to work out the leaf size from the pic.

At a real push could even be a photinia.

 

I agree with Paul on the Photinia.

 

Hi all,
Thanks for the suggestions everyone and thankyou kalmia, for getting my pics to display properly. Sorry I've been slow to respond, too much work this week, I fell asleep last night.

The photinia looks a distinct possibility, although the red leaves are less pronounced than most of the varieties shown on Google. If it produces any flowers, or berries, or does anything distinctive I will let you know.

Thanks everyone,
Vib.
