:D Oh how I'd love to!!

Welcome Victoria. Sorry Victoria, it is not Pittosporum. The leaves on Pittospoum are ...Quote from Wiki..."The leaves are spirally arranged or whorled, simple, with an entire or waved (rarely lobed) margin."Ceratonia siliqua, Carob leaves are opposite each other with no terminal...

It looks like Hypericum perforatum this is the herbaceous wildflower St Johns Wort not the shrub ones Victoria

Hi Jaz & welcome to the forums,No appologies needed, we welcome questions and new people.You are very right to be concerned, bit difficult to tell from a pic as there a a few that look like that.They are not Liberty Caps (Majic mushrooms) But they could be paneolus species which are...

Thats a reliefRight off to start a thread about local names for plants.

Definitely Berberis Darwinii.

Hi Dai. Check the "Camellia" thread. I used the term Insecticide instead of Pesticide I expect a rollicking for that. Nice to see you back, mate.

I thought dogwood as well, initially, but I am swayed by the pink ceanothus which is very attractive - I haven't seen it in pink before.

I too think it could be Lavatera, species of which grow here on the main Continent wild, but it would be nice to know where Mum lives as the poster lives in France ... and is this shrub scented?

Hi Sven, glad we helped... Keep coming we are a pretty good community here... :WINK1:

I think I missed something here???

It's a good plant for late flowering when there is little colour in the garden apart from the yellows of Rudbeckia.

Thanks to you all, great spirit, great answers!

It self seeds as well - I have it growing in the grass now!

Sorry, my fault. The LAST photo shows a Kalanchoe.But still not sure about the plant of the first three photos...

julia, that certainly looks a lot like it! I think they're bulbs because my ex tended the garden before me and she told me so! She doesn't know the name though. The plant doesn't come out of a single stem.mark

Sometimes something just reminds us of what we deal with. i remember reading some years ago about someone who collapsed while tending a bonfire. They reckoned it was because he had thrown foxgloves on the fire and inhaled the smoke. Certainly I am careful when cleaning my foxglove seed - don't...

I`ll third that.:gnthb:

Not sure what the "plants" are, but speaking with my bricky's hat on, i would deal with the moss growing on the brickwork, it will allow water to sit in the joints, and come winter will expand and destroy the brickwork, a quick squirt of roundup and a little wirebrushing is all it would take.

Thank you Lavender I have had a look at the names and I think the Parahebe is right and the lemon balm is right I am not sure about the bacopa I have one in a bsket and it looks different to the none in the picture will put a pic on form you to have another look many thanks colinHOLD ON...
