Welcome to Gardeners Corner You've got me there

Sure, I'll keep an eye on it and post soon as. Thanks so far everyone.

Thanks all... yes has to be evergreen or will look like a concrete jungle.Not a good look so need various plants.. Also need something that is about 4 foot as landmarks in the garden. Was thinking or putting something that height- ish along the front of the hse. So it helps with reversing keeps...

Hmm, could be Goldenrod - solidago..

Yes and a real seed weed too, is Knautia. Trouble is you do not always get as good a colour as that from seed. If it is a small plant then it can be dug up and moved reasonably easily. Cut it down first and get as much root out as possible. Ditto the Astrantia. The Osteopsernum usually has roots...

Thanks x

We can all sleep again soundly Spruce

Just thought, quince have a downy fur on them by now. Probably pear then. Not as fun as quince!

kalanchoe tubiflora , I`ve once found one in a garden center but for some reasons wasn`t cheap , I took few seedling , time i went back home couldn`t find them anymore... should be cold tolerante to -2 , so perfect for an unheated greenhouse , easy to buy on ebay and can reach 1 mt high .

Nice one though - won't forget that in a hurry. Won't we impress folk when we say "oh yes,that's Clarkia Concinna don't you know....." See, that's where we score points on GC

I wonder if Zigs could id it?

I have never tried them myself but you could always try cuttings. I understand the seeds can take up to six months to germinate!

Hi Jack, did you have a good holiday? (I think you've already been )

hmmm your right Shiney could it be the angle of the camera? there's a ton of different Ligustrum species it could be though

The birds do make good gardeners sometimes

there were no 'shrooms that I could see last autumn. Hopefully everything will be ok.. just not seen it before. thanks

Ach, that's the one! My Alzheimer's playing up again.

thankyou scillonian, ive been trying to find out for ages lol

The photo does have a very mediterranean (or madeiran) look about it SS. This specimen is a bit past its best, I agree, hopefully there will be young seedlings around to take it's place it does self seed well.

Well done, Zigs, right as usual
