Oh gosh i hope he comes back now ive fluffed the id of his plant

By the shape of the leaf I would suggest it might be Acer platanoides. Common name Norway maple. http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=acer+platanoides&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei =G3ElUO3zG8Oo0AWk74GoCg&biw=1536&bih=776&sei=IXElUIDWJdOR0QXSq4HYCg Rather than Acer...

thanks for the help, what a cool website.

You mean I got one right?!

Hi, yes wikipedia suggests that it is of the myrtle family too, the plant is actually in my mother in law's garden, (Buckinghamshire), I 'd like to give it a try, but we are Lincolnshire on sandy, extremely free draining soil, I know I could start of with a container specimen, but to be honest...

Possibly a Salix. They grow very fast.

Well, Silver Surfer was right with Lychnis. I've no idea where it has come from. I can only assume that it was unnoticed within the fuschia plants. I don't normally buy fuschias, they're not a plant I have much success with, but I'm loving this bright and happy plant! Next year I'll replace the...

thankyou all for the help, I will probably be either repotting the camelia or planting it in the ground.

Thank you for all your help. I have dug as much as I can reach without digging up Tarmac driveway but should I just leave now and see if it grows back - hopefully back in rockery & not in drive or do I cover up the offending area I have dug out in the rockery to prevent re-growth ?

Who knows it could of even travelled with me from work.....

Hi all Thanks for everyone's input. I was a bit worried that it could be something invasive , But as my garden is more or less a small wild patch only a few meters big I think I will Take the risk and leave it it's does look a pretty little thing Thanks everyone Gill

i used to live 10 miles from there

Thank you all =) The buddleja isn't staying there. Once it's finished flowering I'll be cutting it back and then moving it. We have a neighbour with a err... not-so-pretty backyard and I'll replant the buddleja along the fence line there so it will provide a visual barrier. I really won't...

Thank you for the information - my mum will be really pleased.

The small plants are lavender well they came from a lavender seed packet from a well known seller...I previously put Aloe Vera seeds in x3, and presumed they didn't take. That is why I put the lavender seeds in the container. Then the 3 bigger plants suddenly appeared..this is why I have...

Thanks Peter. Great advice from you there There are actually two separate plants there so that may explain the 5 and 6 petals. I did actually lose a couple of stems that had flopped to ground level and broke. It`s leaning left due to the high wind from that direction yesterday. I`ll be...

Definitely not Bay Laurel. Willow13's pic shows leaves with serrate edges. Whilst Laurus nobilis leaves have smooth edges.See very clear images on first link. Also the berries have longer stalks. http://www.discoverlife.org/mp/20q?search=Laurus+nobilis ...

Good call!! have you phoned them yet? Tell 'em about 200 members on GC want to know!!

To be too dry in Dublin in summer would be a miracle! Posting more pics of another 2 mysteries

I would agree with Silver Surfer. Its the same colour, height, leaf and floppy habit as my Sidalcea.
