It is not really known how low and intermediate mass stars eject mass to form PNs. We present preliminary results from a programme of near–IR imaging, in which we study a sequence of objects, from extreme AGB stars through proto–planetaries to young, compact PNs. We aim to study the sequence of morphologies, to see where the onset of bipolar shaping occurs, and to use the IR molecular hydrogen lines to map neutral regions around ionized nebulae.
