AKA Papaver Somniferum (Opium Poppy):So be careful about making Arum root rolls/bagels topped with poppy seeds.

Everything the others have said BUT if the elderberry is in the patio you had better get rid of it quickly. Elderberry is nice if it's in the right place. The common elderberry you have there can grow to a height of 15 - 20ft and is a rapid grower. If you prune it can branch out similar to...

Hi about 30 feet high , I grew it at my old house I got from Woolworths I think £3.99 the old guy next door would tell me everyyear the birds have eaten most of them !!!! little did he know I netted all the lower branches , as if I could net a 30 foot tree !!With Cherry you prune in the...

I totally agree with Silver Surfer, Prunus serotina, Kedi..

Hi Victoria. I have just come back from a few days away and am catching up. I spoke to the gardeners at Temple Newsam, who hold National Collections for quite a lot of plants. They have a fabulous collection of these climbing Geraniums, but I seem to remember them telling me that they weren't...

Thanks I knew someone would know..... :DOH: Funny how you can go through life totally oblivious of such beauty.. Yes it does grow near a brick wall in a very sunny sheltered spot.. I am so glad you said about the hairs on it, although I don't think there is any intention to do anything to...

As Silver Surfer says, C. montana a.k.a. Perennial cornflower...as I think I said at the time? I love these plants, but they do tend to spread about a lot if you let them seed.

Hi Triffid, they look like Primroses to me.. Yes they are dying back now but they are a perennial so will be back next year.. They do look a rather cramped clump.. I would defo dig them up & split them off into smaller plants & plant elsewhere in your garden for next year.. You will need to...

Thanks for your help with this

I have some blue ones & they are very pretty..

Just a quickie. Discovered a couple of days ago what a lovely sweet perfume these have.

Many thanks allAh haa D is Californian poppy! I planted it myself! I thought the little seedlings around it were the poppies coming up, heh I think i've got it the wrong way round - I suspect the little seedlings are chickweed.C is ValerianA must be Linaria purpurea - My Dad left some...

I have what I think is a more cultivated form called Chenopodium purpurascens which is a rich purple colour and grows about 3foot high ..It is an annual and sows itself easy and I just pull out unwanted plants.. Dave

Hiya Mel ... answered on your search query thread. I think there were three good roots in your package and so I planted them in three places ... two 'disappeared' and one has survived and is doing a bit like yours 'rooting itself around' but sadly no flowers yet .. but I am that I shall have...

1st, Spiraea Goldflame. 2nd, Deutzia discolor " Magicien "

2. The Potentilla. Just to be correct, it has had a change of name and is now Dasiphora fruticosa.

Hi Fonzie, it looks very similar to the shrub I have. Maybe the answer is the same:

Hi again, I am back. This time, hopefully, with a better picture. Can you please confirm if this is Euonymous? Many thanks.

We got a Cardoon a while ago, I think it may have to be moved now....judging on the size of that!! Can I expect that from just one plant? Or do you have several there clustered together? Thanks.

I would still say Spiraea for sure not sure which one though . Dave
