The middle tree in last July

As they say its a tricky one. Looking at the whole plant. I still go with my original thoughts, but yes probably a variety of Lawsons. The leaves do appear to be in, albeit small, flat sections.Tend not to think its Leylandii, as I think its too dense looking for a young plant, also its...

Good afternoon @Silver surfer and thank you my friend

It has been a mild winter until last night @silu but today it still looked good,its near a fence under a climbing rose that ive not cut back yet so its a bit sheltered,will see how the snow fall tonight has affected it x

Thanks for the replys.

Oh hang on!Upon looking at the photo I've taken. The leaves at the left of the photo are defiantly my iris's which I didn't dig up but are still in the ground just out of shot. So it looks a bit like they are shooting out of the tubers but are not.

Yes, it looks like an Osage orange to me too. I was introduced to these fab fruit in a botanic garden.

Definitely a protea, beautiful, very long lasting cut flower. I used to use them a lot when I was a florist but their stems are so thick it made holding the bouquet a b@@@er

Thanks for replies. @Palustris I don't think it is achillea, I have those and the leaves are hairier. @Anthony Rogers you may be right there it may be from that family, though this is only about 5" high, do they have them that dwarf? I've also pondered Mt Atlas Daisy, Alpine Aster and...

Hollyhocks, m'dear!!

Begonia survived indoors for 1 month, is now on last legs, 1 leaf left - any suggestions please? Thanks.

We were lucky to, almost, eradicate a large amount of ground elder. It was in separate beds and covered a total of approx. 250 sq. ft. We now just get the odd plant appearing. It only took about 30 years to dig it all out.

Yeah, looks like loquat to me. Keep it somewhere nice and sheltered and sunny. I personally like the fruit and it forms a handsome tree.

That's it Apple Blossom

I hope the Iris and Viola come good for you and please let us know how things progress.

I thought I recognised it, I have one in my garden! Sorry no picture available at the moment as I'm between computers.

Well I'm not sure that 9 months will do it. I thought if I said 2 years you might lose the will to live. Maybe do 1 section for say 9 months and then lift the polythene or whatever you have used and "wait and see pudding". If nothing appears by the end of Autumn then I'd lift the remaining...

Thanks @ARMANDII I'm wondering if it is a hybrid because I can't find anything like it anywhere on the net. It just appeared in my sister's garden, she found it while doing a bit of weeding. I'll give her a call later on to ask if she has any other hardy geraniums other than the Geranium...

Yes, although they are slow growing, so it might take two or three years to get it looking really good again.

You're not speaking to it in the right tone of voice. You need lessons from Mrs Shiney
