Identification Area

I think I'd rather have it Palustris than Oenothera speciosa 'Rosea' which I brought from the UK to here as it has taken over and I can't eradicate it as the roots seem to go to Australia. It and the Oxalis pes-caprae, both of which I sent to Pete and they have probably populated Kent by now...

Yeah, the Lysimachia does look like it's going to need to be kept in check on a regular basis. This is fine though, I have a whole fence it can crawl along, and it will certainly brighten the garden up. :D I plan on moving it away from everything else, so it just has the fence to contend with...

Oh no, here comes a lundy cabbage or a cheddar pink :ntwrth:

Also agree, it will run everywhere in no time :(

Oil seed rape is a very common seed in purchased bird seed. It comes up all over the place in my garden.

They were De Rigueur in the 1970's!

Thanks to all inputs so far - Ive focused in on Cotoneaster and looking at the drawing in the 'Expert' book its leaf shape looks like Cotoneaster salicifolius. I think I will give it a week or so and move it to somewhere else. The 1st one is still unknown so I will give that a few more weeks...

I like to use the flowers..I preserve the flowers with egg white & then in sugar! Candied borage flowers have been used for years as cake decorations

You removed all the shrubs and plants from a rented garden?! :D :D Sorry, but genuine mega LOLS!But why?! LOL! :DI see some golden euonymous (maybe ?) on the left a couple of choisya on the right.

Is it a Rambler or a Climber ClaraLou. Looks like a Climber. Big Diffeence. Don't know any Rambler that looks like that. Climber - well they come by the thousand - would be difficult to identify on the basis of a snapshot.

Yep, it`s an Ash. Try pulling it out, they very oftem come out easily.:gnthb:

Pete has nailed it, it`s Cordyline australis.:gnthb:

Hi shakerbaker.. ... That is one of the many Spurges or wild Euphorbias.. Just pull it up before it seeds if you don't want it.. Probably a seed dropped by a bird.. :wink: Do be careful of the milky sap as it can be an irritant..

Thank you Pete, that's it. Sis says she has it in her rockery in Florida. I shall tell the lady who gave it to me, along with the Aeonium which you also identified. Apologies for taking so long to reply but haven't been on the computer much of late.

looks to me like Calabrese or PSB so will need transplanting

Marley - I think it is a brilliant plant, and I don't mind it spreading. Its easy enough to identify and remove if its not wanted.I had to smile, when a man I know, who runs a nursery, said he was selling a very good purple one. I asked him what his source was, and he said that there is a...

Thanks Palustris. I looked it up in my book, but the description for both was essentially identical, and they both come from the hills of Croatia. So I haven't a clue what mine is. I love mine and don't find it a bit thuggish. But I think whether a plant is a thug or not depends a lot on your...

:thumb:Thanks Aaron, I have just the place too then.. I just love it & the colour is wonderful.. :thumb:

I know JWK, I wouldn't eat anything unless certain. I am waiting, most likely in vain, for my shiitake mushrooms to sprout, they're on a birch trunk, I hope they do grow though

Dorrie - many thanks. Its an excellent site.I had seen it before and saved it under favorites. But I have so many favorites, I had forgotten all about it.
