Hello! My mum was recently given this plant but no one has a clue what it is! The flower is very like a speedwell but the leaves dark, glossy and slightly spiky (bottom right of the photo). It was flowering a couple of weeks ago but they are over now. Anyone have any ideas what it might be?

They do look like a Veronica. I’m thinking the small alpine ones. Prostrata.

I think you might just be right as Google images brings up very similar looking plants!! Thank you so much! Borderline said:

Where is this plant?
I do not recognize it as anything we grow in UK.
Is it evergreen?
Would you please add a really clear pic of the flowers.
Do the leaves on the right belong to the same plant.
How tall is it.
Veronica prostrata is very low growing.

It reminds me of Hebe hulkeana....but need to see close up of your plant.

I’m afraid that is the only picture I have which is from a few weeks ago. The picture is of the plant in a friend's garden in Surrey. Yes, the leaves are the ones in the bottom right corner and they are evergreen.

Hi! I'm moving house soon and there are 2 plants in the garden here which I would like for my new garden! Pictures posted below! I know one is a david austin rose but not sure which variety... and the other looks like some kind of anemone possibly?? Thanks in advance!!

The purple one is a perennial hardy geranium.

The rose could be Gentle Hermione or even A Shropshire Lad.
