    I don't think 3 is another eleagnus. It looks familiar. Hmmm

  • Plant 3 looks like Bay. Try crushing a leaf BatNix to see if it smells.

    Ohh, Nutcracker, you're right it's Bay. Can you believe I bought some in the supermarket on Sunday! Ha.

  • You can prune it right back if you need to. Hang up the prunings to dry and use for cooking when you can't be bothered to dash down the garden in the rain for a couple of leaves!

    Plant 1 looks even more like Eleagnus ebbingeii now. This flowers in very late summer, not much to look at but a fantastic scent.

    Ah - pic 4 is clearer now and I can see that it's not little yellow flowers, but yellowing foliage.

    I know that I know it - but it won't come to me  image

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



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