I can't see the picture very clearly, but it looks like one of the escallonias to me - there are different varieties/colours and they can make very good hedges.
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
Is it a camellia?
hopefully this gives a better view
thanks
there are no thorns
flowers are pink
assume its an evergreen as it has not dropped its leaves by now
in surrey, england not abroad
Here is a googled picture of an escallonia - the slight jagginess of the leaf edges looks familiar - so I think Dove could well be right
..looks as though someone has been pruning a Camellia at the wrong time of year...and pruned off all the flower buds...one or two are showing..one in flower...but not much more... it appears to have been sheared off fairly recently...
..people put these plants in strange places...
Looks more Camellia-like to me too. If you look at the size of the bricks - the foliage looks too big to be Escallonia.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I don't know acid soil plants but I don't think it's an escallonia. Are the bright pink bits flowers? A close up of one of those might help, at least to get the family likenesses established
In the sticks near Peterborough
here's a close up....
I reckon those who voted for camellia get the prize
