mystery shrub

Definitely the lesser spotted purple lesser spotted thingy.

 

how about this one

 

Yeahhhhh .....we're getting there....... well, you are Spruce

I'm starting to get a touch of Rhodododendron/Azalea now

 

too much info, keep it clean please

 

what about a type of Erica (Bell Heather) it may be a old specimen and they have removed the lower growth ?

 

I've just realised I've got a dead bird between my Rho and my dendron..... Ouch

 

If we put your post and mine together do we get a " lesser spotted purple dodo"

 

that was @simon n not me

 

That is quite possibly a Prostranthera, do the leaves have a slightly minty smell ?

 

I believe it is a very tender shrub which only grows in the south.

Prostanthera rotundifolia Rosea

Hello, Here is a close up of flowers and leaves. Sorry I do not have a posh camera with close up abilities. Just realised the shrub has a medicinal smell like camphor. Leave thumbnail photo below. I will check out the Erica that was suggested.

 

Yes they do almost like camphor. Will look for an image of a Prostranthera. Thank you

 

Hello, Just got this image by googling Prostranthera and it is the plant growing in my garden. Thank you to everyone who answered my query. I really appreciate your help.
