What is this plant
 

Hello,
I bought 3 of these some years ago, kept them in containers until I was ready to plant them. My problem is I lost the tags on them. I hope someone can give me some info, how high and wide they grow, are they a type of hedge or shrub. Will they survive an exposed area.

I also have this small plant in my garden, is it a weed.

Ok I was going to attach photos but I'm being told to attach them manually, can anyone tell me how to do this.

You are using gardenbanter to post to a newsgroup, uk.rec.gardening, which does not allow pictures. So the best thing to do is to use a picture sharing website such as Flickr, put the pictures there, then post a link here.

Put them on flickr or something similar, then attach the link

I notice you come to this newsgroup via Gardenbanter instead of direct like
most of us. Gardenbanter have a way of dealing with photos for newsgroups
and you should be able to find out how to do it from their web site.
Basically I believe you upload to them and then post a link here, rather
like using flickr etc.

Hello Bob,

I thought you guys were gardenbanter. Bob how do I go direct to this newsgroup and what are ye called. Thank you Bob for replying

I guess that her response to Bob and your response means no-one has seen my previous reply to this thread, right?

A good demonstration of why it's better to go directly to urg and not via here!

No, we are a Newsgroup which is part of Usenet which actually predates the
www. So an ancient form of internet communication. :-)
I use Windows Live Mail to access this and other newsgroups (there are
thousands). Do you use a program to access your e-mails? If you do that
should also be capable of showing Newsgroups. One problem is that not all
ISPs carry newsgroups these days so that may stop you unless you pay a News
provider like news.individual.net.
On WLM you should see the word newsgroups at bottom left or under Accounts
(can't remember it's so long ago), click on it and your computer will
download the names of all newsgroups your ISP carries. you can then search
for the ones you want to subscribe too (it's free) and they will appear on
the left hand side of your window every time you open newsgroups again. So
then you just click on uk.rec.gardening and your computer downloads the
latest messages/replies and you do from there. The more you use it a look
around your screen the more you will see you can do.
Give it a go and come back with any other queries.

Remember the flocks of trained carrier pigeons. You had to get one
from the right flock or your message went into the wrong newsgroup.
And trying to create a picture of a flower you needed ID'd in ASCII.

Ah! The memories.

Recently there was an obituary of somebody who believed that the
Germans were infiltrating under cover German carrier pigeons into
England in WWII. He was put in charge of an anti German pigeon
section. The section infiltrated more than 100 English carrier pigeons
into occupied Europe. The pigeons were never seen again. Were they
stool pigeons?
