    Hi guys,

    My problem is this: I've inherited a number of plants, which were cut down and put into pots in May. We got our garden in early August and have planted almost everything now except the climbers.

    We were hoping for some help from the experts to identify some of the plants, so that we know their flowering period and best aspect etc.

    The shrubs should be easier to spot, but the climbers need a lot of love to restore them to something recognisable, but I'm placing the pictures up just in case in a separate post.

    Many thanks,
    Sam

      1. Possibly/ probably Ceanothus sp.
      2. Looks like Viburnum tinus.
      3. Looks like Hebe sp.

        Agree with Bilbo on 1 and 3 but I think 2 is Viburnum tinus.
