Unidentified plant in my garden!
« on: May 19, 2012, 18:33 »
Hi everyone.

I have a plant/bush in my new garden (I have recently moved house) and I have absolutely no idea what it is. I have been unable to find anything on-line or in my books that looks like it, so I thought I would ask here and see if anyone knows what it could be!

Many thanks in advance

It looks like an oxalis to me.

It looks like a cotinus to me  :) (aka Smoke Bush)

Smoke Bush does look a lot like it. Oxalis leaves look quite triangular from the pictures I've just seen.

I've added a close up of the leaves in case it helps :)

One of the few non edible things I recognise and my vote goes to cotinus too. :)

Smoke Bush - which I think is also known as Cotinus!
