    :) No Blackthorn,but you could almost be forgiven as they are so similar.It is Sedum (Ice plant).............So which one DID you get wrong?

    Yes, brilliant quiz roders - thanks. Single leaves detached from the plants have a surreal look and makes you see them completely differently.

    Was our LOL and Marley Farley correct with prunus and not copper beech?
