Shrub ID Please

An interesting point here ... are Viburnums deciduous in the UK or just some of them? I've only grown them here. Mine is certainly an evergreen and in flower at the moment.

 

Viburnum Bodnantese is deciduous, Tinus is evergreen.

 

Thank you my knowedgeable friend .. I certainly won't buy the former, albeit very pretty, as I only like evergreens!

 

But it does brighten up a bare garden in winter at least here anyway even if we have't had a real winter(yet).

 

Since there are about 200 species and a fair few hybrids and forms I am sure there are Viburnums for every situation. That is definitley V.x bodnantense though.

 

Thanks guys, that's that sorted then! It certainly does brighten things up. there was a Tortioseshell butterfly feeding on it today. THat's what prompted me to find out about the shrub.

 

... and now he says there was this butterfly ...

... and where's the picture of that, pray tell?

 

Well by the time I had ran inside, found the camera, turned it on & got back outside the ****** had flown off.......lol

 

And you think I'd believe anyone who lives in Swansea when I'm from Pontypridd ... ha!

Have you seen my lovely picture of the Gower on LoL's Leisure, second to last page?

 

Sorry i might be being thick but what's Lol's leisure?

Nice photo's where in gower is it/ my guess would have been Port Eynon?

 

It was a very, very long time ago, r2oo, probably 26-27 years, and to be honest I can't remember! All I remember is we stayed on a remote daffodil farm in the hills and they had a pet lamb called Lamb Chop! :D
