I had to take it from a distance (!) but what is it?! It's a stunning colour and made up what looks like tiny little flowers.

Pink viburnum?

I downloaded an awesome app called pl@ntnet today.

You load the photo and it tells you what it is within seconds (been at the local garden centre testing it out all afternoon, it's really cool)

Not sure what that^ is but if you get the app it should identify it.

I have no affiliation with pl@ntnet, I promise

can you get a close up of a few flowers and/or a leaf?

Thanks for the app info. I'll download it now.

I think I need to get a close up photo tomorrow. It's a plant on the school run and I felt a bit daft today taking a picture of it!!

Some kind of heather? but there are so many varieties would be difficult to say which! It's lovely, love the colour

Is it prickly? If so it could possibly be a variety of Berberis

I reckon it might be Manuka/New Zealand Tea Tree?

Pretty sure it's a weigela

I think you're right Nora!! Thanks everyone. It's beautiful!!

A close up!

Not sure that IS a weigela, on closer view, unless it's some specially ornamental type with unusually small and even leaves too.

I'm pretty sure it's Manuka.

Nora, and you're an aquilegia !

Hiahia has it - it's Leptospermum scoparium, quite possibly this variety www.dobbies.com/products/plants/leptospermum/leptospermum-scoparium-winter-cheer "Winter cheer".

Hiahia and nan you're amazing. Thank you! And isn't that plant stunning!! Write ups say they're a little delicate though which might count me out but I have to give it a go!! I have an all white garden though and this is quite clearly not white!!

Oh wow. There is a white variety-snow white. Woohoo!!

Unfortunately, they're not very hardy, unless you have a really sheltered position and not in a frost pocket.

Dog. I might have a sheltered position. In Worcestershire, in the corner of the garden under a atlas cedar, facing south east? Or against our front garden wall facing west.
