Hi there, I have added my location, wiltshire UK - so yes we do get a few frosts ( coming soon to a place near you s00k), could I get away with protecting it in-situ, with as suggested some mulch and maybe some hay or straw....and perhaps a duvet :hehe:. Either way...in-situ or the...

Peri and Kandy, Oscar says thanks for the info :gnthb: k-l k-l

Ooooh! Daisy. You know what, I spend an eternity trying to grow shrubs like yours, it looks gorgeous! Oh woods woman, please spare that tree....:hehe::lollol:

If there are thorns on it, then it doesn't sound like honeysuckle OR cornus!:hehe:

As far as I`m aware it can affect any species of tree. :gnthb:

Chris - glad that your son seems to be fine, but as Clueless says - do get it checked out! Any small amount of something that could be toxic is a danger, and, you should really get proper first aid advice in what to do should he do something similar again - if he's that way inclined to munch on...

That's why I put 'green' in quotes. :thumb:Iâ??d be very surprised if this was really the case. :cnfs:I would only use a pure soap like Stergene on plants, I've heard it said that washing up liquid contains ingredients that are harmful to plants. :gnthb:

Hi Everyone;After a bit of investigative surfing, I'm almost certain that a plant my mum was recently given is the Ctenanthe Oppenheimiana Tricolor (Bamburanta)Any tips on its likes & dislikes, (favourable conditions for healthy growth, feeding & watering, etc,) would be greatfully...

Hi there, can I ask of you guys if the spine on the underside of the leaf is spikey...as I have just dug a load up from various places on the allotment. What sort of flowers do they grow...are they more or less "a weed" and is it worth leaving some in... are they useful for anything. Many...

I think it's a great place too Mondo.:thumb::D

I would think Rudbeckia at this time of year. They always manage to put some colour in your garden when most things are past their best.

I want some!

Feverfew. One of the daisy family of plants, sometimes used in the cure for migraine. I've got loads of it to attract insects because it usually has hundreds of florets on each plant and grows to about a metre in height.

Thanks for the info :thumb:

:hehe::hehe: Strongy, I note that you chose not to make mention of the not very nice name of your beloved Callistemon.

Hi Kedi, I think it is Ipomoea Batatas Tricolor (Pink Potato).

Oh thanks TS...Absolutley right - 3 stars ***The trees in question are indeed, Catalpa bignonioides (Indian bean tree).I finally had a reply to my mail from the House.Thanks for your response!

Apologies - the antennae suggest it is some kind of wasp (possibly feeding on the whitefly in the carrot foliage?). Possibly an immature wasp of some kind?

I've done a bit more research and, for anybody who may want to know, the fungus is a 'fairy club fungus' called clavulinopsis luteoalba. Now I just have to find out what to do about it - none of the websites that identify it give any suggestions as to how to get rid of it - any ideas gratefully...

Don't pick sloes until after the first frost, or alternatively, pick them and pop them in the freezer for a bit.
