Identification Area

My plan is that long-hours worked in the Spring leads to much less hours being needed in the Summer and Autumn. and thus more time to sit in the garden and enjoy it!

Looks like a Tree Peony seedling to me,something to look forward to it flowering, it will be a test of your dedication.

'Ceo' and 'Seal' very similar.

I think the first one is Astilbe, the others Lady's Mantle and Geranium as has been said already....

It's also very likley that it's a hybrid rather than the straight species...orchids are notoriously difficult to identify correctly

£350 each! Could you let me have some cuttings Pal? I think I'm turning my garden over to growing those

Not seen them before Walnut.:thumb:I only have one type, that yellow one grown from seed.:D

Thanks for your help - it has seed pods now so perhaps I can grow more. It is in my conservatory which is just as well because I live north of Glasgow.

Think you may have done it yet again .... Will let this one go to fruiting point and report further .... Muitos obrigadinhos, meu amigo xx

The bindweed is just showing above that stem of the dicentra,Zap it quick with a systemic weed killer.

Hi Archdoodler, it is a Fatsia japonica, I had mine in a pot (much bigger than yours) and it started going yellow, its in my border now and doing great, I keep it Medum Sized by trimming off the leave's i dont like the look of and everything Lolli has said is spot on :thumb: ... Dee..

when it flowers will the flowers turn to seeds?

That's absolutely what it is. Thanks so much :-))

ive just been out to the veg patch and i looked in the bag of soil improver that i had used and it has lots of this jelly stuff in it so i think that claire is right and it is water retaining gel:gnthb:

Thanks for that tip! I've put the plant in the corner of the conservatory, so it's getting natural light all around and from the top.....but I'll keep an eye on it.

Hi Daisybelle I am far from being an expert on Clematis But It looks like A Montana Grandiflora But can,t quite Make out how many Tepals It has,I am sure one of our friends with more knowledge of these beautiful Climbers will Have the Answer.

The leaves look wrong for any of the alpine type phlox to me, unless I am looking at the wrong leaves. Pp. subulata and douglassii forms have small, narrow leaves. There are by the way dozens of different ones in every colour except yellows and oranges. Treat them like Aubrieta and trim back...

Thanks again will look into giving it a feed in the coming weeks.

Its common chickweed robt, there is no need to spray to get rid of this. It doesn't tolerate regular close mowing - thats all you have to do. :thumb:

Many thanks, it is!
