It looks a bit like pieris but I'm not sure because its pale - is it variageted too? I can't see it properly for the light shining on my laptop. -
It has little bud type things on the tips that are green with red dotsCheers

So you didn't see what it looked like last spring? If it throws up red shoots from those buds the it is a Pieris.Originally posted by broadway View PostComment

Yes I think Pieris too. Mine is in flower at the moment.Imagination is everything, it is a preview of what is to become.Comment

I think we're on the right lines.
Pieris variegata, or possibly this one? Google Image Result for http://www.colesvillenursery.com/Pieris%20Flaming%20Silver%201.jpgLast edited by Two_Sheds; 20-03-2009, 01:55 PM.All gardeners know better than other gardeners." -- Chinese Proverb.Comment

Do you know, that's the first ever bit of advice I've given anyone on the vine... Whoo Hoooo! I am so pleased with myself. I didn't even know if I was right, it was a bit of a guess but thanks to other's replies I seem to have been correct. I am very pleased with myself.. I've given something back instead of asking all the time. Its a good feeling!!Comment

There'll be no stopping me now!
Though you might want to check my replies.. I am liable to get carried away with my first flush of success.Comment

Definately a Peiris - got one just like it in the garden - it should get little tiny bell shaped flowers on it - mine has them now. I think I still have the label in the greenhouse so will have a look for it tomorrow and tell you the proper name.ToriComment

When you said that it produces red shoots-do they come up from the ground-trying to recognise something that is shooting up in my gardenComment
-
No the red shoots sprout from the tips of the plant.
Git a pic of the red ground shoots?Comment

The red shoots are what give it the common name Forest Flame.Whoever plants a garden believes in the future.
