    Hi, I found three shrubs that had been thrown out by a neighbour and adopted them. Not sure what they are but I believe they must be deciduous as the leaves are tender and not tough enough to be evergreen. No flowers yet. Any ideas?

    Thanks, I think flowers may be pink as there are some buds forming. I'll try to get a good picture of them.

    Many thanks! Funny that the replies all came from half way across the globe : ) What would we do without the internet?

    Healthy looking Dwarf Korean Lilac, probably 'Miss Kim'.

    Thank you. That will be a nice addition to the garden to attract bees and butterflies. It would have been a shame for such nice, healthy plants to end up in the landfill or compost pile. So glad I rescued them.
