Hi guys,

I have this what I think is a shrub in my garden but I don't know what it is. Can anyone tell me at all?

Thanks.
Craigh

    I thought Daphne but looking again the leaves are wrong for her .The leaves look more rhododendron like to me .

    Ah yes just googled it and that looks the same and I do recognise the flowers when they open.

    Absolutely sure it's that :)

    Thanks :)

    Yes - yours is further on than mine this year @CraighB . Lovely shrub.  :)
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    Looks like it's loaded with flower buds, should look beautiful soon.

    It does look lovely when it flowers. The only issue is that the person who planted it years ago planted about 4 shrubs way too close together and because of that they are all fighting for space and sprawling everywhere. I think it will be a case of having to take some of them out to make some space.
