Identification Area

I have Peter Crouch growing out of a drain in my garden!!!:thumb:Paladin, I was thinking maybe some type of Buddleja actually, but I had no idea there was so many different varieties of them! Thank you. Will search though the family to find my weed!

:thumb: Think you could be right Aaron.. Plus hoping it sets lots of seeds then... :wink::lollol:

S'Okay!! :gnthb: At my age I forget who I am so it helps if someone reminds me. :D

Leycesteria formosa is a wonderful architectural plant and in late summer/early autumn you can cut the stem (with the flowers still on) to use in a vase. It will last for ages and is quite striking. If you find that it is in the wrong place you can lift it, carefully, in the autumn and...

They are very pretty.

Barry, forget the size of the flowers, the leaves or the plant. It is in a pot, therefore, what you basically have is a bonsai`ed Philadelphus.:gnthb: Plant it in the ground and enjoy.:thumb:

:hehe: :lollol: :lollol: :lollol: :lollol: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks for your quick replies guys thats great.

In my last job I was the plant area manager of a major garden centre here in South Wales. As such, I feel qualified to agree with your estimation that it is, without doubt, Teasel.:gnthb:

That`s true Ziggy.

Please assist me to identify this plant here. It might be emerging from a South African seed, or it might be only a Jamaican weed.It started, after some weeks, to produce some long thin stems.

It's an Hibiscus syriacus - a shrub....and a plant....

Sounds lush, cheers Marley, will try that

Thanks Peter,not difficult though as i've been growing it for twenty odd years, reason i know what the flower looks like i because it often bolts !

Hi Roberto & .. I am sorry would love to help but I cannot see any picture .. This link might help.. :thumb:

Well, you learn something new on here everyday. I've never heard of fasciation, but on reflection I had an anemone which did it this year. My husband has just given me an explanation of it - well description at least. And it does make for a beautiful Foxglove PWKG.

Thanks everyone...yes it is indeed a member of the knotweed family. It is the shorter type which looks like Polygonum affine...at least I now know what it is..thankyou :thumb:
