Thank you all very much for your help, firstly I managed to purchase a
book on shrub's by Roger Phillips & Martyn Rix (Cheers Kay) Its great &
helped a great deal with lots of pictures, I'm still looking for the
Gardeners Encyclopedia by DK as this will help with some of the other
plants.
Emry's you were spot on with the "Pink Shrub" thats exactley it &
without a photo too, I have spent ages on Daves Garden Site & its
proving really useful so thanks for that!
I am in the process of taking photo's of everything in the garden &
hopefully soon they will all have names! Well off I go again with my
camera....(maybe I should publish a book called "The beginers guide to
plant recognition" when I'm done .....lol)
Once again thank you all very much

Phillips and Rix also have two volumes on perennials which are very
good, and one on annuals which I haven't got since I don't grow annuals.
