Dear URGlers,


I've come across this pretty shrub in a garden I'm helping with :-

Any ideas ?


5 petals, reddish foliage, so I'm thinking rose family ?


thanks..


Mike.


I reckon it's a camellia


I reckon Sacha's right ... it apparently flowers all year .. I'd
guessed at Hebe for the leaves ...
