I'll get a picture of 8 today. Thanks fidgetbones, I think it must be escallonia.
I'm glad to have a sunflower, and my OH is not, she thinks they are vulgar. Does anyone know whether they are snail/slug fodder, I want to stick it in the ground today, but everything is getting eaten at moment.
Ah cheers Fairygirl, I will try and protect it a bit then, at the moment I'm shoving sharp sand and copper tape round everything, and they are still killing all my cosmos, keep meaning to make beer traps. Thank you!
Hi nutcutlet! funnily enough I was. Again I struggled though. I find it really hard to get in focus pictures, even using macro, everything's moving around in the breeze and so on.
Dove got the tips, couldn't get the base as it's entangled amongst lots of other things.
I just noticed it's growing through the trellis and the bits that are getting sunlight are starting to flower, but the picture, which looked fine in the view finder, is blurry now.
Thank you nutcutlet. I google imaged it, a couple of pictures show that the unopened flowers look very much the same, the leaves look very similar, that could be it. It does seem to be climbing though. I wonder how that got there. If that's the one it looks lovely!

Yes, I agree - Jack, it will attempt to scramble upwards, especially if there's something for it to grow through, but it doesn't really get any taller than 18" - 2ft at the most. It's very pretty when it flowers, after that it's a PITA so I pull it out - it always reappears the following year.

I'd say Escallonia for 6 - definitely. Sunflowers a re a bit prone Jack
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

I hope you're out there taking more photos of 8 Jack

Thank you Dove, it took me a moment or too to work out PITA there
Cheers, I'm off out to work on my borders now.
