SHRUB ID

Hi all,
Can anyone identify these two shrubs i have photographed??





Thanx

Wayne

 

Not sure about the first but the second looks very much like a Heather to me.:thumb:

 

1. Looks like Cotinus coggygria. Common name smoke bush.

P.S. Sorry John. I posted the same time as you.

 

Does number two have a pungent smell when crushed? looks very much like the Herb Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis)

 

Number 2 is a Heather for goodness sake.lol

 

No 1 looks like Cotinus smoke bush.
No2 is not the weed horsetail. Piccy not too good but I would second Dai and go for Heather.

 

I think it's rosemary :hehe:

 

I thought it was Rosemary too. Next to it is a Lavender, which might give a clue as to height and growing location.

A report back on the smell will tell!

 

Lol looks like this might be fun:hehe:

 

The first one looks like Perückenstrauch / Smoketree.

The second one looks like Rosemary. Definitely not Horse Tail.


What is the score now? :hehe:

 

Another vote for Cotinus and Rosmarinus :gnthb:

 

First one is definitely Cotinus but the second one looks too 'sprawly' to me for Rosemary. I think it's heather of some sort.

 

Rosemary varies quite a lot in habit. 'Miss Jessop's Upright' is a selected form which behaves as its name suggests. Rosemary 'Prostratus' stays low and sprawls everywhere. We need to know what the leaves smell like!
