Flapjack:)'s Journal

hmmm, this is a good game. I'm going to throw a couple of guesses out there ----- viburnum of sorts, sarcococca????

We are going to need more information! Leaf shape? Really a photo is the only way to go. :)

I wonder is it a Rhododendron or Camellia. Is it evergreen?

Flapjack, you remind me of my son, Sammy. For years grey was his favourite colour because he felt sorry for it.

Hi Flapjack.........I would hazzard a guess at sarcococca...the fowers usually last untill Feburary and have a heavy sort or "lily of the valley" scent to them.......if she is getting rid I suggest you grab it.... 

Hard to tell what it is from that description Flapjack, if it is Saracocca you would most definitly smell it's scent as its lovely. Try asking your neighbour if you can take a photo and post it on here for identification. I would agree with blarney that it might be viburnum tinus or with Rachel that it might be a viburnum but again without more detail it's hard to tell.

Hi Flapjack, as the others say it's hard to identify without a photo but if you can't get one, let us know what size the bush is and about how old (if you know) and/or what size the leaves are, then we might be able to help.  Sarcococca has tiny white flowers and the leaves are about an inch long; viburnum tinus grows larger with a rounded head of flowers.
