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...

You might be right as I did take some seeds from a Llandaff plant last year and sowed them this year, which I assume these seeds would be called Bishops Children? so its possible I did get them mixed up whilst taking cuttings, but these are much taller then Llandaff (Llandaff and York seem to...

No, they are normal perennials - although the roots are quite fleshy.The flowers will keep coming if you let them - I just pull off the individual flowers after they go over.

Yes, and thank you, she's an absolute poppet and unusual in having a brown nose and hazel eyes. Also has independent ears that alternate in standing up OR both together - been like that since a puppy.

There you go - I knew I knew nothing..........Baby Triffid? Sorry! Couldn't resist it

Ah but read the bit about brain damage comparisons....praps we'd all better start chewing on cacti?

Hi,Thanks for reply. The plant is right beside a photina red robin so in pic 2 the leaves are that of the red robin. I just tried to get a close up of the flowers in pic 2 ...I just googled Thalictrum rochebruneanum and that's exactly what it is...Thanks a million

Welcome to the forums Greenbud. Possibly Haworthia sp.

This still makes me chuckle

dont know which one but taking into account they have very little root I would cut the cane down to 12 inches to stop water loss .Spruce
