It is Kalanchoe, didn't look close enough, should have noticed the stem was round not square.

F.perscandens was bought in growth from Burncoose. Not cheap, but it was a good sized and mature plant, not a first year cutting. An online contact in New Zealand sent me the seeds for F.procumbens. I can have a look to see if I still have the seeds for the variegated form if you want. ...

Don't eat Nettles at this time of year unless you like weeing razor blades If you want to eat them, cut down the old flowered plants and wait for new growth, that also gives catterpilars something to munch, as they know to stop eating them after they've flowered.

Thanks for the link Silver Surfer..........and the Rust confirmations John/Pete. I'll cut back the worst affected leaves and apply an appropriate fungicide as per the RHS advice.

Well spotted and i.d, Marley

A lot of things didn't set fruit this year due to the appaling weather, if it gets better next year there is no reason it shouldn't though.

You have given the answer here.. "It was cut back absolutely loads and in no time its already climbed up the new fence." You are cutting off all the shoots that would give you flowers! Follow RHS advice here on when/how to prune. http://apps.rhs.org.uk/advicesearch/profile.aspx?pid=242

Wotcha Silver, I love Samphire. I don't pick the whole plant, just the central spike, leaving some to set seed. When I first started picking from a local estuary there was only a small patch, 20 years later and its now growing the full length Probably something to do with the demise of the...

I brought a few seeds home to try. Not sure what colour they'll be though, but worth a try!

Yes it is a hibiscus. In the Garrison Library in Gib' we had a double hibiscus. We had to stand guard over it, and the mulberry trees. Cheers, Tony.

I put a very similar pic. last year and got the same answer. It's spike this year is 6' high and pretty inpressive. Now I know I need to chop it down before the seeds drop - on my way NOW.

Especially the Euphorbia, as the sap can be quite a nasty skin irritant.

Senecio vulgaris..In fact not native, as it looks, but native to the Mediterranean region. It was let loose here and has become an accepted part of our flora, probably because it is small and none problematic.

As well as Anemone x hybrida, it could be Anemone hupehensis.

I'm surprised at that, when I've trimmed my hedges they smell quite strongly.

I bought it because it look like a pasacana , I`m actually wish that it`s a pasacana , as a similar plant like this would cost over £30 and i got it for £1.50 . Same story with the Chlorophytum , I know it`s a Chlorophytum but wich one?

No idea, but hopefully someone with more experience will come along soon. It's quite big, isn't it!?

d'you know, I dont think I've seen a nightshade since I was a kid!

OK, then happy to send you some if you PM me your address, Jenny

The slugs & snails love them though..
