Hi, can someone identify this plant for me please? Someone told me a while ago it might be pink jasmine but looking up wikipedia for this it seems to be something different. The flowers on this are tiny, 1cm across, and very sparse - I think there's only maybe 5 flowers on the whole plant at the moment while the plant itself is getting out of control smothering my clematis! I'm going to have to do something abut it. Apologies for the quality of the photo, that seems to be the best I can get. Thanks in advance

I'll take a stab at it. Its purslane ornamental variety.

Could do with a clearer image of the leaves to be able to help. There are pink flowered Jasmine and the flowers on them are small. And they can be very rampant growers too.

Look up Jasminum beesianum via google and look at images, blurry or not, that's what it seems to be. Mind you, if you hadn't mentioned jasmine, it'd be next to impossible to ID with this picture.

I think you need a new camera as pic is as you say... quality not good, have you got the camera on the right setting "Auto" and aim on the flower, press button that you take the picture with halfway down till in focus, then take the picture, hope you don't mind me telling you this.
Hope the name of your plant is I.D. :o))

Jasminum beesianum it is then. Thanks everyone. I do indeed have trouble photographing things very close up, still not sure if it's me or the camera that's the issue - probably a bit of both ;)

It's the focus you're not getting right - in the picture, you can see the leaves behind clearly, but the flowers you were trying to show are blurry, so you need to be a bit further back from whatever it is you're trying to shoot. Even so, for plants, its always best to be able to see the leaves, type of growth and any flower present, not just a flower.

Yes, best to stand back, you can always crop the pic to just what you want to show :o))
