Thanks again guys. Great help.

Hi Aesculus and theruralgardener,Thanks very much for your help. It could be an astilbe, now that I think of it, there are a few of them in the garden, but a different variety. I've never actually seen the thing flower, it just grows into a nice thick clump by the end of the summer every year...

Hi Bilbo on taking a chance that will have Camellia on my face and it would,nt be the first timeI will stick with Magnolia Stellata my reason being that Magnolia Leonard Messel has 12 petals and has a pink tinge to it,we will have to wait until one of our Camellia expert friend,s comes along....

The first is Kerria japonica Flore Plena, the second, as has been said, is Ceanothus possibly one of the arboreus varieties.

Looks like Escallonia from what I can make out, but as mentioned a close up of the leaves would be good . Dave

Hi all, These are all over my lawn. Literally hundreds of them and seemed to have sprung up between the new year and now. There are quite a few trees overlooking the garden if it helps, but we've never had this problem before, this is the first time. What are they? How do I get rid...

Spent all day trying to get the cranesbill out, what a nightmare! The roots are horrible. Still a load left and I think I will be pulling it out for years to come. Not a plant I would recommend for the garden.

Ok thanks, the bulb smells a bit oniony, so it'll be interesting to see what it is.

Unripe passion fruits gives you the wotsits, ripe Passion fruit is fine.[hr] Forgot the :D

Thanks guys

But the picture proves you cant :DWhere are you growing it? It appears to be in some kind of covered area or even a propagation type place.
