Hi All,

I'm blitzing a flowerbed that has been overgrown for a few years, and
have found three plants that i'd like to know more about.

http://www.dentonmiller.net/Site/Stu...hat_are_these_
plants.html

1)
A nice little shrub

A bit difficult to id without more detail. I couldn't get the pic to
enlarge.

2) A tall thin thing with nice coloured leaves

Again, a bit difficult. I wondered if it might be a coloured-leaved
yellow loosestrife. Try googling Lysimachia 'Firecracker'.

3) A rather leggy and leafy thing with very bright purple indigo
flowers that stain quite badly if you touch them.....

Tradescantia, I think. See, for example, www.gapphotos.com

Any ideas? The shrub is obviously a keeper, but I'm not sure about the
others....
