M4tt 4,941 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Yarrow Yarrow has a similar flower, but a shorter stem with feathery leaves all the way up to the stem to the flower. Carrot weed has a long straight stem up to a metre long with the odd leaf on it Yarrow is a friendly herb and not poisonous Link to post Share on other sites

Erin 1,290 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 @tommy dave : The first one might be Escallonia. Link to post Share on other sites
yesbut 6,233 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Indian Hawthorn (Rhaphiolepis sp.) We've got them too Link to post Share on other sites
Cyathea 354 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 I'd say likely escallonia, not raphiolepsis, leaf is too soft, and they are not serrated like that, or as pointy as that, flowers not tubular either. Link to post Share on other sites
yesbut 6,233 Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Here's my Hawthorn..different flowers for sure Link to post Share on other sites
