        They're beautiful, Loli. IIRC, isn't good garden design based on 3/4 evergreen plants to 1/4 deciduous? I'm waiting for someone to breed an ever-purple, hardy shrub with big, beautiful, scented flowers:biggrin:

            Just found this photo from mid May this year - just planted out my sweet peas . It shows our Olive tree standard - £20 from Asda, really pleased with it :dbgrtmb: Bottom right is Choisya Aztec pearl - possibly my favourite evergreen shrub . Behind is another evergreen the second non flowering non berrying Firethorn !:gaah:I'll post a photo of the one at the front which is great , this booger not one flower in two years !!
