Thank you, wiseowl :thumb:

Its a pleasure Anne - lovely to speak to you again.

1. Looks like Bergenia at the bottom. Behind it is a Griselinia littoralis. 2. Possibly a Salix. Common name willow. Salix caprea??? Maybe. 3. Looks like Cornus. Possibly Cornus alba sibirica. ...

I have two Prunus(cerasifera nigra) of which has edible fruit on it now

Thanks for your replies, I already have 3 fat hens sratching things up and trying to nick all the good stuff! Now it seems I have another fat hen of a nasty variety, well this one can definately go! Thanks again.

Thanks for all the thinking . I think the flowers did look like the flowers of the Anchusa (), but blue. I'll take pictures of them the next time it flowers.

Move it in the Autumn Patrick & you will have a beautiful Shrub... :thumb:

Hee hee, no problem Alice, there's no need to rush out and buy a dremel to help harvest your spuds :wink:I meant first :lollol:

Good evening and welcome to the site. As Clara says, we really do need a pic of your problem plant.:thumb:

Bergenia it is then, thanks very much folks! Wayne

The second one with small white flowers looks like something I have in my garden I know it as Grandpas buttons, is Achillea ptarmica its latin name.

Well called Marley, spot on.:gnthb::gnthb:

I am sure Victoria is right. When you said it only flowers every two or three years, my first reaction was that it was a bulb from a hot climate, and not every year has been hot enough for it to flower.
