Just checked your location - now I know why the bergenia is in flower now - none of mine are out yet!

Thank you. Sorry for the delay in replying just changed internet provider!

Yeah but when they get bigger they get hardier.:wink:

Yep, definately a Runner Bean. :thmb:

ok see if I can help...A = Sumach ( Rhus, stags horn ) b = Wild Crab Apple c = Ilex - Holly, most likely Golden Queen, or Golden King e = Very hard to see, possible an Apple f(1) = Copper or purple Beech?? , Leaves not right for a Maple, though again very hard to see from this distance. f(2)...

hmm hard to tell but i think it might be a runner bean loopy

:skp::D:flag::hehe:

Thank you JWK.:gnthb:

Cheers for the replies people, Very interesting answers :thumb:

There seem to be two candidates Schlumbergera truncatus - the christmas cactus, and Slumbergera gaertneri - the easter cactus. They appear to be very similar, except for the flowering period. If it has already flowered it has to be the former.Dr Hessayon (The House Plant Expert) says repot...

I would give it a little while, but you can soon dig them up and saw through them with an old bread knife, dividing into two or three bits, and replant. They are so easy to multiply. I bought one plant of Lobelia 'Queen Victoria' and within about three or four years, I had multiplied that to 60...

Basically the only real way to tell is know what the shrub is.So you really need to ID them before doing any winter pruning.With a close up pic at this time of the year,(and perhaps with an overall shot of the plant), quite a few shrubs can still be ID ed, although there are bound to be some...

After looking at this loads of times, I saved it to my computer, then enlarged it. Then I could see that it has lumpy red fruits, just like a Euonymus, probably Euonymus europaeus, the spindle tree.

hallo to all from karaman,thank you for replies - all appreciated and thoroughly considered. i've bought a shed with a reasonable garden in a continental climate so albizia will do well - also plan to plant stuff that dont grow well in uk e.g. bluebell tree, medlar, judas tree and a gunnera...

I have a Fatsia about 5-6years old now it has been moved twice and I have always had it in the garden whether the garden I have is sheltered from the elements I dont know will put pic on for you if I can get my page sorted :D

Thanks to all of you for the id. looking forward to seeing and smelling it in flower.

Yes Pete - the limiting factor for many of us is frost free/heated space for the winter. I could grow lots of things if it was summer all year round here - but it ain't.I was reading about a chap who specialises in Salvias - 100 or more different species in his front garden. He made no...

Boy, a hardy mango tree, .......now that would be really something worth having.If it was I'd say knock the house down and keep the tree:lollol:

It looks like x cupressocyparis leylandii castlewellan gold Your photo may be making it look more yellow than the normal leylandii but it is more likely to be castlewellan. It is not quite such a vigorous grower as the green varieties and tends to grow more compact. A light trim at least...

Many thanks Pete! You're a star!
