The blackbirds in my garden must be immune to the poison, unless they sit there nursing tummy aches every night!

According to Dai the plant, i'm really out there.:okies:

May I make another suggestion. Berberidopsis is not the most common shrub. Especially behind a shop up an alley. May I ask you to concider a weed called Phytollacca americana. Common name Pokeweed.

Hello Pamela and welcome to GC. Yes, I agree with Sis (Kedi-Gato) and PeterS that they are Gazania and seed themselves readily here ... in saying so, I can't keep one for love nor money for even a season ... :dh: In saying that, I have an uncommon hybrid one that I've had for two years in a...

It's been a good (or bad, depending on which way you look at it) year for birdseed germinating! I am sick of removing niger seedlings from the top edge of my rockery, and like lots of others in the area have had to remove a mini-forest of cannabis seedlings! :hehe: I'm assuming these are from...

Our pleasure Steve, We love it :thumb:

Thanks Folks. I new that I would get a definitive answer here.

Hi Shobhna 0) I stroke mine ( for the attention of ziggy and others, yes I am referring to my snakes :wink: ) Snakes don't have very good hearing or eyesight for that matter and rely on sensing vibration and smell, so even if I did try and make them jump through hoops, I dont think they would...

Thanks all. I probably should have known this one as it's common enough, but I am such a beginner that I didn't know! It must be pretty resilient as it survived last winter without me taking it out, and we had snow on the ground for quite a while. Location is about 30 miles south of...

Definitely salicifolia.:gnthb:

:lollol::lollol::lollol:

The only comment I would make is that the Yucca looks like Golden Sword or similar which is one of the stiff leaved Yuccas and therefore the leaves will have a very very sharp point and sides like razors, just beware when working around it, I speak from painful experience of working with them.:(:D

enorolI too would go with 4 0'clock plant (Mirabilis jalapa). I have grown some from seed this year, and I think they are lovely. Its a tuber but its not very hardy, so if you want to keep it you should dig it up after the first frosts and store it frost free like a Dahlia. My old tubers got...

1. The leaves do appear to be in 3s to a stem. So Clematis... but which one???? Wait until there are flowers , then add pics to this post.

Maybe the childs work should be his own

Thanks for the id Nige, you pedantic thing you.:hehe::hehe::gnthb:

You don`t show how its growing on the wall, I have planted a virginia creeper to cover an unsightly fence ,it can be controlled and its very attractive :yez:

Hello Harpp and welcome to GC. I definitely agree with Pete ... I always have it as it's so gorgeous . I prefer the double blooms but it MUST have sunshine and warmth. It sometimes re-seeds here but not always so an annual in general.Enjoy the forum.

I hadn't seen this nursery before, thank you Silver Surfer. My own favourite Crocosmia is Solfataire, lovely bronzey foliage too.Julie

only just seen this thread, just wanted to say, 'wow' about the similarity between K. luciae and the Chrysler building, shown by PeterS!! I wonder what other plants/buildings have striking resemblances?! Julie
