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

Making a recovery now.As are the Herring, never thought i'd see another one, but they are coming back due to better fisheries management.Still a long way to go though.

I would leave the bags over, but not attach them to the pot - so that some air can flow up past the pot into the bag. That will keep the humidity high, but start to acclimatise the cuttings to more normal atmosphere. Despite the top-growth it might be that they have not yet rooted - although...

Thanks BlueStu. I've got a feeling they are both Viburnums.

lol thats all.always wondered what they were

Lavender, you are spot on, thank you!!! and thank you to everyone else who helped me

It looks more like L punctata to me.

At least with the Spiraea you can prune it to the ground in Spring to stop it getting too big. Ours not only spreads by suckers, it seeds everywhere too!

Not saying that it is, but the foliage looks the right colour and almost messy enough. If it is you'll get this eventually...................It can take a wee while to get going, but once established it will form a good clump (if it is Asphodeline).

Thanks for the additional replies I agree with HarryS - mine had got very leggy I pruned it back yesterday - about 6 inches from the ground. Thanks for the replies and advise Much appreciated

I had my nose stuck in it earlier, and it hasn't dropped off yet !

Gorgeous, aren't they? They are commonly known as Oriental lilies, and are hybrids of various species. But if you buy anything labelled as Oriental hybrids you will probably get something you like. There are lots available in spring, Wilko's etc usually have mixed bags fairly cheaply. You...
