Err! Why don't we just ask AKULA to add a close up of the 2nd plant to this post.

 

Good idea, Silver surfer. :thumb:

AKULA, would you please post a close-up of the second plant. Then we could probably agree on either a heather or a rosemary plant. Thanks!

 

1. A very wee smokebush. Possibly Cotinus coggygria purpureus.
2. Definitely Rosmary, probably prostratus as ClaraLou said.

Cheers for the replies everyone, these pics were taken last week while i was holidaying at Butlins. Sorry i havnt got any closeups of the second plant, nor can i comment on any smells:dh:

The first is definitely a smoke tree/bush, i find this plant so unusual/interesting, and intend to purchase one for my garden

After googling images of Heathers and Rosemary shrubs, the Rosemary seems to be the best bet, and resembles the plant in question more closely.


Thankyou all for your help :D

Oh god, there's going to be no end to this xD

 

A Heather!!, how about a poll :hehe:

 

Does the above look like Heather, because it's the creeping form of Rosemary!

 

Yay! Rosemary people - 1: heather losers: 0

 

I vote Rosemarinus.

Too big for a heather I think.

 

Well I think Rosemary is more likley because of the location of butlins =]

 

Hold on everyone....

IF it was Rosemary then surely we should be seeing flowers!
As shown on Sussexgardeners pics.

I am not convinced that it is either Rosemary OR a Heather.

But we will never know!

 

Hi Silver

My Rosemary isn't in flower at the moment. It flowered way back in the spring and seems to be taking a break at the moment.

 

Not my pic - taken from a search on google images...as you will see by the accreditation in the top left hand corner of the picture. It was only being used as an example - and yes, Rosemary blooms in Spring...
