hi me again, well lets work backwards. if we think the leaves belong to
a hazel or large shrub such as hibiscus, there is nothing else in the
garden like that. it's predominantly a dahlia bed, with a few other
shrubs with berries and some lilies. as you can see from the distant
photo, there's not much else there. so on that basis i think i have the
right leaves. the branches seem to be quite sparse, with other twig
branches at quite large intervals along the main branches. at the end,
or near the end of each branch there is a group of these flower head /
pod things.
there are no flowers along the main branches, only on or near the end
of the branches or offshoots. the shrub / tree is a round shape about
5ft high and about the same across.

hope that helps

Well, not me, I must admit! Do you have a neighbour who could tell you what
it looks like when in flower?
