Thankyou

Thanks Spruce x

Fantastic . That's it silver Surfer to the rescue - as usual

I'm having no luck. This has to be a weed of some sort! Gazania

Definitely looks like the flower of the Ligularia but that bulbous spike is a mystery!

Its a native wildflower here but I typically only see the blue ones, perhaps because we are red clay?

Looks like it could be Nipplewort, but there's another plant (a brassica) that's very similar. If you search the forum there's been a thread on GC previously with both plants mentioned. EDIT: The other, similar plant is Charlock and previous threads were and

Wow Becky! That is one huge jump from an id of Prunus ....to be able to say it is Prunus avium "Stella". There are many named varieties of Prunus avium.... commonly called wild cherry, sweet cherry, bird cherry, or gean, To even begin a guess you need a cherry expert, really good pics of the...

Yes you can take cuttings, with a heal possibly best. There are annual Lavateras, but that looks like the shrubby kind to me.

Tis a shame, but I had one plant in my garden once, next year there were hundreds, they've got edible explosive seed pods, they pop in the heat of your mouth when you eat them.

If you do not want to kill the grass then use a Lawn Weedkiller. Verdone do a good one and it does work on Tree suckers.

Thank you so much. Mystery solved x

should of said collect the seed dead easy to grow

It's just an old Nikon D40 with the standard kit lense (mostly).

that's the one! i'll write a tag out stick it on the plant tomorrow. thank you very much.

Thanks , I was thinking it might be that just after I posted.A beautiful flower Silu. A Cephalaria, sounds interesting.I've been thinking about planting scabious japonica seeds this month. 'Ritz blue' from Suttons seeds. Might be worth a try. Gazania

With some trees the rootstock is weak and they don't grow well so nurseries often graft them on to another stronger tree. Some trees do grow to a natural rounded shape but I wouldn't include cherries in that.

There's a cherry tree full of small black cherries not far from me on a walk I take in public land I suppose it has grown from a dropped stone, never seen them growing wild and edible before and they are actually sweet ishI gathered a load of those the other day and scoffed them happily ......

I did buy a couple of Delphiniums, but I know for sure that I planted them on the other side of the garden - they subsequently snuffed it too. Second year of trying and never had any luck with them at all.Thanks Sheal, that is the fella! I'll pass that on

Hi HTo be honest I don't like spraying plants that are just about to come into flower, I only use Vine weevil Provado on the Heucheras after they have finished flowering and the same with the sedums , but I am sure it would work if you did they are more active on the warm sunny days normally...
