it must be pretty cold in your igloo alright Silu i don't have much experience of Tulips in general tbh, we only ever had the "Angeligue" & red "Darwin" Tulips for a couple of seasons, i had them in large pots and had hoped they'd overwinter ok in them (like the daffs do) if i moved them into...

Definitely Solidago, Golden Rod.

This site is a good one to tell you how to use Feverfew Clueless..

Thanks guys decided to leave as is for the time being and will prune later in the year,

2. There are many sp of Berberis. But not that many with narrow needle like leaves. A pic later to show what the flowers look like might help with an accurate id. 3. Hypericum come in different sizes. Some such as Hypericum Hidcote are taller.

Can you add a pic to show the open flowers incase I am miles out. It sure looks like Parrotia persica. It flowers on bare branches in the middle of winter. As it gets older the bark on the trunks gets flaky and is beautiful. In the autumn the leaves turn wonderful colours. ...

I think its a great thing to recycle the tub water for the garden. I've been pondering something like it myself. As an aside, I wish I could remember who it was, but it was someone on here. In a separate conversion about recycling tub water, one person had a solution that was simple genius. To...

Yew have got to be joking!

Blimey! Should I really subject the neighbours to the sight of me, half naked, in my bed shorts just to whip a few weeds out? Nah, I can't inflict that sort of pain on my neighbours eyes - they are good people! They are contained in a growbag of spent compost Jenny, so they aren't going...

There's a first time for everything

Thats a lovely pic Victoria, I love the sort of purple haze around them, would be fab to be able to grow several like that in one place I was also wondering about the overwintering as well, I was thinking perhaps wrapping it in fleece somehow? but I guess if I grow from seed I'll have a few...

latinized name: Kalanchoe blossfeldiana

As well as pretty, it seems to be multi talented in the medicine department

We do have Pyracantha but it's different in the leaf form. There are a few Cotoneaster trees around, and also a few in woodland areas, so if it is Cotoneaster, it's a native I suspect. (if there is such thing) I think because I took the photos with my ipod.. might have something to do with it

The British native Oxalis acetosella can be pretty invasive too.

Thanks SS

Well done Stumorphmac.

It is hard to tell the difference between Burwoodii and delavayi until you get a close look at the leaves.

Blimey, I have to put my glasses on to see my dinner these days, just like an old ewe ready for the knacker's yard!

Thanks Julie, you're right it's a flashier version it has a carmine pink colour.. I'm not sure how they arrived at that, but I'll be sure to let you know whether they come true from seed.. perhaps they will just revert to their natural colour if they seed. Tony, there are few Chilean plants...
