3. Unknown shrub 1. This is rather small - approx 2 feet high. Has small,
round white flowers that turn up in the spring. Most of them are gone now.

Not sure about this. Looks a bit like Pyracantha, but mine isn't in
flower yet (though I'm in Yorkshire and things are very late in my
garden). Do a Google image search and see what you think. If it is
Pyracantha a) it should have thorns (acantha in the name means thorned)
b) it should be a lot bigger, so it's growing somewhere where it's very
unhappy.



I'd have said Chaenomele Kay, but you'd recognise the flowers easier.

So would I, but I didn't know at the time that there was a white
flowered one!
