Identification Area

Ooooh, I like that! And Crocus have them in stock too! Aaargh! No wonder I am always skint!

Hi. Wasn't sure whether to post in the identification forum or here - hope this is OK. Any idea what these two are? Not sure whether the red is a climber or a rambler, but whichever, it'll need some renovation soon. The non-climbing pink seems in much better shape.

Now, THAT could very well be the beastie! Thanks Grannie Annie!

In the back of my mind I had a feeling it was edible... I think this might have come up in this section before a year or so back.. Nice one SS.... CRAFT moment..... I like it....

4 Cytisus (Broom) 5 Honeysuckle?

Yup, absolutely gorgeous. Don't give it the chop until it's finished flowering. Not even then if you want the berries. Get the wine bottles out at the same time for the elderflower champagne.

Well I pinched a bit of this mint and planted it up at the edge of my new pond. I also have some posh mint elsewhere in the garden. I call it posh mint because my mam gave me it after it was given to her by a neighbour whose friend worked in the grounds of one of the queen's gaffs (or so it is...

Thanks Kristen. I've looked it up on line and it says it's free seeding so hopefully I'll get a few more next year!

Hi Greg2013 From the pictures it looks like withertip / spur blight which is caused by the fungus Monilinia laxa. Unfortunately it is a widespread infection and there are no control measures. Removal of affected parts will help to lessen, if not prevent, reinfection next year.

Oh boy Silver Surfer strikes again. I wonder if he/she has ever been stumped?! We in GC are very lucky to have a living, breathing, never ending encyclopedica Botanica as a member.

Gardeners Corner is a globally reaching site, Doug, and we have so many members dealing with so many different climates and problems .........makes it interesting, and it is also very friendly.

Thank you for new clear pics... much better. Madahhlia was spot on Kerria. It is Kerria japonica pleniflora. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=kerria+japonica+pleniflora&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=xY21UZiDNOfP0QWIoIGQDg&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=967 Some trees are very late coming...

We have a pure white flowered one ....Weigela Mont Blanc. Yesterday couldn't remember the name! May be yours is that one. I am not sure how you can tell them apart!

Thanks for the id folks.Scrungee, unfortunately I think you are right :-(We've removed endless amounts of them but they are a real pain in the ass!!!! We'll keep battling on though ;-)

Easy enough to tell, crush a leaf and sniff!

Agree with Madahhlia re 2 and 3. I've got 3 and can't for the life of me remember what it's called. Pretty sure it's a Heuchera rather than a Heucherella as it does so so here, found that unless they are the old varieties most Heucheras don't do well here while varieties of Heucheraella seem...

Get that sycamore seedling out PDQ! But keep the primulas, they're nice.

I like it and hate to admit I had to buy small pot as I've never seen it growing wild anywhere in my area. That was a few years ago and now have more than I need!!!!!

Could it be a Cornus (dogwood)?

1. Looks like a Deutzia sp. Close ups of the open flowers would assist with an accurate id. 2. Cornus sp. 3. Wisteria sp. 4. Acer palmatum... possibly just Acer palmatum atropurpurea OR maybe a named cultivar. A. Looks like a Pyracantha. B. Yes Lonicera sp. Common name Honeysuckle. C. Looks...
