Identification Area

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

The leaves look like Sphagnum, but like I said, drugs were more important than my school books

looks like my coreopsis

I'm not sure what that is but it doesn't look like a buddleia to me, the leaves are more lanceolate. I would let it grow and see what happens. A better photograph may help to i'd it.

Just moved some of this only this afternoon, spreads very quickly!

Thanks Marley, yes it is Lavatera, I remember now. It was a Morrisons plant without a name, probably Barnsley, thanks again

Had to go out and have a look at some, Some stems had gone purple, some hadn't. There was also purple leaved Cow Parsley.

Pinus sylvestris seems about right.. the Scots pine often has a slightly greyish look to it.

Yes I think it's a Sorbus sp.
