    Is it scented? Looks like a Sarcococca.

    if you click on the picture, it should open into a new window, where you can zoom super large on the plant, the white flowers are long trumpets, and the leaves look glossy and slightly spiky round the edgesimage, however, I don't recognise the plant / know wot it is myself - sorry.

    My first thought was Osmanthus b'woodii - but mine doesn't have such serrated leaves. They're not so oval either - more lance shaped. Still, Osmanthus some sort would be my best guess. 

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



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

    Mine are a bit serrated but not as much as that. Not really sure mine isburkwoodii, I bought it cheap with no labelimage

    I'll do some research if no-one does a definite ID
