Identification Area

Currently in flower now, has roughly 5 petals on each bloom, quite large too. Thanks everyone

I did ID it, I can't remember off-hand. It's also another that's in my ever-increasingly useful flower book... I'm not the best gardener, a bit of a beginner

Thanks one and all. Very much obliged. John

Thanks val, yup, that seems what it is, tyvm!

Many thanks lolimac

Thanks, guys.

You can grow them no problem & harvest the seeds from the dried pods. You must NOT however try to extract the sap from the pods.

i feel a right turnip head i thougght it was a flower. i hate turnips. thanks for all your help regards nijiski

I'm sure I've been weeding it out somewhere

As an orchid hobbyist, I would have to agree with that.Paul McMahon Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

No, it just means that it is a form of the main type, which is different but not different enough to be given a varietal name.

Aah, should have asked me first then My pleasure

Ooops. Oh well........I should still get points for trying. Lol.

Just hose it off. There's no need to use insecticide unless it's a bad infestation - which it doesn't appear to be. They're not a major problem in the garden.

Those are superb Scrungee. I have only had them up to about 9 feet and am very jealous. Being colder up in Yorkshire they don't flower till the third or fourth year for me. The crowns tend to rot off in our winter damp when under glass, but I can usually manage to get a few through the winter. ...

I have two which have just about survived in my kitchen this winter. But they don't look happy.

Alstroemeria ?

Don't think I've seen Dandelion leaves go red like that before. Has it got a taproot?

Sounds a bit like the Aquilegia, Red Campion, Sweet Rocket and a few other things in my borders then, Palustris

Thanks wiseowl - so I can wait for the autumn and the Rose won't get damaged beforehand (I was thinking that these creepers might be 'strangling' the rose or some such). Thanks sheal - will dig out the roots then as well cheers all
