Is this a tree, bush or plant, the leaves look a bit like Laurel or Rhododendron.

a plant, maybe 12-15". I think the leaves are more of a succulent type than L or R

I have just cottoned on that this is the same as

http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/ga...mage-4034.html

which is almost certainly a garden escapee, not really wild. The one on Skye was close to gardens and appears in them, only the Cornish one was miles from the nearest in a wild meadow



Thank you both for your interest; need to go to a garden book on succulents now
