Identification Area

Very many thanks folks!! I knew someone on GC would come up with the answer. I'll now be able to tell the lady in whose garden the bush is growing just what she's got growing

Wasn't that a Marie Osmond song ?

Thanks :D

Hmm! Had another look at these pics and I am not seeing any Sambucus.I believe your number 1 and 6 are both Nandina. (On screen as I look at it no.1. and 4.) 1. Dwarf cultivar Nandina., 6. Nandina domestica.

ClaraLou, Thanks I hadn't seen the Toadflax before, although no doubt I'll notice it everywhere now!! Lovely though, and was trying to work out the origins in my head from what I could see but was left baffled. Thanks for the geranium advice too, I'll have to see if I can get...

thanks xx i will have to google pics as i have no idea where it could of come from at the moment,i had put some mikado poppy seeds in that area so whether there was seeds mixed in what i bought im baffled :D xx

Okay everyone, thanks for the assistance. I'll see if I can get my daughter to find out some more info on it. Perhaps she can get somebody local to identify it aswell.

6th Opinion and Welcome to Gardeners Corner

Thanks Cluless. I'll bear that in mind. I have a regular visitor from next door that I don't see until it's about 5' into the garden coming through the foliage at about 3' off the ground. Its been there years and I've usually got thick gloves and dragged it through to take as much root as...

Sounds like Liverwort to me too. Don't worry about the sewage pipe, I've got one running through my garden and it's never been a problem. It's more likely to be the wet weather we've had this year.

Yea that's got to be it. Thanks aesculus.

Lol. The only think that makes me think perhaps cross fresian is the ruddiness round the front of the cow in the first picture but otherwise yes definitely Fresian. Used to love to walk the herds of mixed cows when I was a child with the local farmer. All his cows had names like Buttercup,...

Bluuurrrgggg.....not sure i like the sound of that.....just googled it and it doesn't really get colourful flowers so i think it has to go Thank you

As far as I know, any crab apple is good for jelly making. I just used my ornamental M. John Downie for some, it's lovely!

Fantastic flowers; I was thinking Dr Ruppel too for the Clematis (Nelley Moser is similar but its not that one), a member of the large flowered hybrids, most do flower again in September after their May/June flowering spell :thumb:

It is indeed! I am not really interested in the flower, as long as it can keep its incredibly soft leaves just as they are now... Silver surfer - spot on - that's the tree!

It looks like Aloe varigata, its basically a winter grower.So it can be difficult.I find its best in shade, apart from during the winter when full sun is best.A good gritty compost and only light watering all year round, depending on temperature. Keep at a min of about 10C, but it will...

I have never seen one with leaves curled so far round they look like tunnels or spirals? The one in the pic in the link looks like mine nice and healthy.

They look similar to some of the hebes we have so I'm inclined to agree with Ss. We don't do anything with ours and, as they are very small varieties, I wouldn't expect them to grow much. Our seem very happy with just watering when necessary. If they do get too big for where you have them...

HiI wasn't sure if this belonged in trees, beginner's gardening or where but here goes. I've been in my new home almost exactly a year and got a bit better feel for it now. I've inherited a few conifers in my flower beds and I am having trouble knowing what's best to do with them. I don't...
