I have a few of these beautiful things growing in my garden which I don't do anything with apart from admire and I have no idea what they are. Would someone be kind enough to identify please.
Yes I did mean the Euphorbia. I love it and it's nice to now know what it is.
The tree I know as I have a few in my garden, it's a damson. And yes it does have fairies living at the bottom. I pretend that is for my daughter when I totally did it for me!
The dog is my shadow and loves the garden but unfortunately has no concept of borders!
Thanks for the ID nut as I also have that one, which came in from next door under the fence. I quite like it but find it pretty invasive - it's now covering a 3 x 2m area so will need dealing with at some point! I've seen a couple of wrens nipping in and out of the 'forest' so it will stay until winter.
A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

That's a Euphorbia :-)
I'm going to guess laburnum... you did mean the tree? ?. Looks like you have fairies living there!
Yes, a euphorbia ... have a look here (scroll down) to find out a bit more
