2 Lilac
3 Kerria japonica
4 ?? (baffled flowers are fuschia like, but its too early for them and the foliage isnt right. Leaves look a bit Azalea- like ?)
5 Rhododendron/azalea

Not so good this time Richard ::)  Only No. 2 & 3 correct -
1 = Hawthorn & Laburnum
4 = Crinodendron hookerianum
5 = Rhododendron

I had to get a Crinodendron, saw them growing in abundance at Trebah Gardens in Cornwall a few years ago, absolutely glorious.

Crikey Pat.

You got me there. Never heard of a Crinodendron (until now that is). I see the laburnum for what it  is not you tell me   ;).  I am supposed to know that they look like  ;D
