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.

There is one in my garden that has just finished flowering. I have
always thought it to be a variety of Camellia.

If it IS Leptospermum, Steve, the flowers are a lot smaller than a
Camellia.
Here's a link to a pic of another but different one:

That is http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk which Hubbard is advertising. Well
worth a look and full of lots of interesting information from lots of
sights.



Go and take a peek over the fence.
