Hi,

So I have another plant from my neighbourhood, which I want in my garden, but can't track down due to not having an exact name.

It looks 100% like a Euonymus (I have two in my garden already), and it looks quite a lot like emerald 'n' gold. But there's an elegance to this plant that I don't see in any of the photos of emerald 'n' gold. I wonder if there's a chance the variation is situational. Eg. the soil and lighting conditions encourage the plant to be creamy rather than yellow (the photo makes it looks a little more yellow than it actually is), and have much less dense foliage.

How big are the leaves on that by the way? The plant near me is a larger leaf euonymus, so I wondered if there was any chance emerald 'n' gold was a small leaf variety.
