    Hi geum. Could your tree possibly be a Tamarix tetrandra? Is it possible that the other is Phlomis fruticosa? Sorry I cannot be more definite Those are my best guesses image

    Gree ladybird.

    1. Tamarix, not sure which species.

    2 Phlomis.

    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

  • Thanks both! I genuinely have no clue what they are, as I inherited both of them with the garden, so as you both have the same ideas, I reckon that's a very good place to start!

    That phlomis needs a good hacking back after the flowers finish

    I think it's phlomis but my original ID was based on what I thought were yellow flowers. Blown up they turn into yellow leaves.image

    Test, sage smells of sage, phlomis doesn't, no smell to speak of.

  • I'll go sniff it now....

  • Nope - not stinky in any way, and it has yellow flowers...
