Hi,
We recently visited Cornwall and went to Glendurgan gardens (amazing place - well recommended!!) and saw many wonderful plants. Among them are 3 that we didn't know of and I was wondering... if anybody has a little time to kill and would like to visit: www.photobox.co.uk/my/album?album_id=120566659, could these 3 be identified for me pleeeeeease? I have asked for help and searched the internet, but no joy at present. There are 4 photos, but two are of the same plant (as I am sure you will see...).
Many thanks in advance!
Caroline.

Hi and thanks to the replies so far. Think the 3rd one may well be a Cornus - have looked at a few images now and that looks right, just need to find out which type......
With regard to the 2 pics of clusters of hanging cup-shaped flowers on the woody plant, it was actually fairly tall as I remember (certainly a lot taller than me, and possibly even taller than my husband at well over 6 feet. I'm fairly sure it wasn't a blueberry bush - I have one of those, (albeit a very small one) in my front garden and I had exactly the same thought about the flower shape, but the plant just looked too big to be a blueberry(??). We were there only last month, if that helps re flowering times, etc? Oh well, somebody might recognise it...
Thanks again for the replies!
