    Hello all

    I hope you are all well.

    Can someone please identify this small shrub please?

    I have no idea what it is and so no idea on pruning etc.

    Thanks in advance

        Hello @shiney

        Thanks for the reply.

        I am having a problem attaching a new photo, when I Upload the file all I get is the Option to Delete it but no Option to Insert it into the message.

        Any suggestions?

        Thanks in advance

        Kevin

          Its a Shrubby Potenillia . They don't need pruning , but I personally prune them to shape in Spring , yours looks like it growing out of its allotted space so I would prune to a shape .

            Agree.
            Now renamed Dasiphora fruticosa..previously called Potentilla fruticosa.
            Flowers may be yellow, orange, white, pink.

              Hi Kevin,

              It depends on what type of device you are using.

              If you are using a computer all you need to do is go to where you store your photos, reduce that screen in size so that you have both that and GC in view. Then highlight the photo(s) you want to download and drag it and drop it into your message. It will then download it for you. :blue thumb:

                Hello @shiney

                Thanks for the reply.

                This is the first time I have ever had an issue uploading a image, one thing I did notice is that if I upload a second image then the Options to add a thumbnail or full image appears, however, clicking on them do nothing.

                I have tried to upload an image to this thread using a Windows 10 PC and also my Samsung Galaxy S8+ Phone, both exhibit the same issue.

                Thanks for everyone who identified the Shrub for me, much appreciated.

                Kevin
