Identification Area

Thanks again Silver surfer, May I ask you another question? The unimproved, semi-wild lilac in Brussels and - at least in some parts of the UK (Bristol for example) - is pinkish . Where I come from, Sweden, it's pale blue. Or one could say the difference is between pinkish mauve and bluish...

Yes that looks to be the case - I like the effect

Hi, merleworld, they look nice in their pretty individual pots. I have never trimmed mine whilst blooming but do give them a 'tidy up' when they have finished blooming. In the Spring I trim out any dead wood and snip the tops to freshen the stems ready for their new growth. It's not...

Thanks guys, looks very much like green alkanet and sycamore. (A maple...hahaha)

I agree with Silver surfer. It's much prettier than the Oxalis pes-caprae that I have been plagued with recently and sadly my Oxalis deppei have just vanished!

Found it. It's Couch-weed.

As the euonymus is variagated , I would think the plain leaves are where it has reverted back to the plain green form ,It would be best to cut out the plain shoots as they could become more dominant that the variagted .. Not really a major problem. And the dark stems are as mentioned just an...

you lot are simply brilliant so much!!!I don't know what I'd do without you

Thanks Marley but too blue (although my wife's reaction was - that looks nice). Scillonian - YES dusky crug is exactly it, not seen anywhere before but the Hairy Pot folk have got it - thank you very much indeed. And thanks to all for your interest and ideas.

Oh dear! Aren't we supposed to do that? I wondered why they didn't do well! I fall for all these cons.

or tart..............

Thanks folks, looks like I'll be getting some fruit then

And is that a black cat sitting there. Hope someone cares for it.

The first does indeed look like a bluebell; the second may be Centranthus ruber, commonly know as Valerian, but difficult to tell at this stage and the third is a Chrysanthemum. You'll have to wait until it flowers to see the colour!

I know there is a Horse Chestnut with white flowers, there is a red Horse Chestnut with pink flowers I think the Horse Chestnut has 7 leafets on it's leaf And the Red Horse Chestnut has 5 leafets on it's leaf also there is a sweet chestnut

They're an inoffensive sort of weed- not pretty enough to bother keeping but not too difficult to pull up either.

That's because I keep sticking them back, Sheal.!!

Shiney probably.

But which one?
