A couple of IDs please
Can anyone help ID these please?
First off a very small (evergreen?) shrub with lovely tubular flowers
and then a plant someone gave me a while back - some kind of Euphorbia perhaps?
It's looking a bit leggy... any pruning / TLC edvice other than just get it in the ground`?

the first one is a weigela and yes,a euphorbia
In the sticks near Peterborough
top one is a Weigela, the other is Euphorbia mellifera, which is a bit tender, depending where you live... if it survives the winter - it will benefit from mulching, and feeding - you will get bigger leaves and more luxuriant bushy growth... do try give some winter protection though and a very sheltered spot...
...nutcutlet.... I hope you bought lots of lovely plants on Sunday....
Ah thank you both.
the Euphorbia has managed to survive 2 winters outside in that little pot! never been fed, mulched or protected...will probably die as soon as I plant it lol.
Maybe leave it in the pot then? We have several euphorbias in pots, which also get little if any attention, and they do fine - if it ain't broke don't fix it?
I didn't salino. I had a good day out with a friend but didn't see much that appealed to me except a tulip like sculpture that twirled in the breeze and cost hundreds of pounds
My plant likes aren't very mainstream.

..as long as you enjoyed the day... I like also the rare plant fairs, but don't get to see enough of those...
i don't know where you live Salino, I know it's not that far away. There's a rare plant fair at Swines meadow nursery at Market Deeping on 7th July.

..thanks for letting me know Nutcutlet... I've been to Swines meadow before and bought a few things... spent ages looking around... bit wild that one...
but lots of interest...
