yes that looks like the chappy,cheers

They are giving the Leylandii [Spit!] behind them a run for its money, so sounds like that's a fair contest then!

Well that's a relief!!! I have a few that have just come up on their own and was a bit worried they were going to take over the garden!! A few of them, that one included, I have transplanted to other areas of the garden. I didn't realise it would get so big though!!! I am probably going to move...

They are quite tasty and we prefer them in a soup. Just like potatoes they will sprout again next year from this season's tuber if you leave even a tiny one in the ground. They used to traditionally be used not only for their nutritious quality but as a screen for things like compost heaps and...

Thanks for helping me. Iâ??m going to have to rest on this one, mainly because I need to go and take a look at the plant again. Everyoneâ??s arguments for it being Chicory are indeed compelling, but I have this niggling doubt. I need to take more photos and check the leaf layout at the base of...

Take the pictures and get them onto your computer in the normal way. Then follow the instructions in the How To ... section at the bottom to find out how to include pictures in a post.Write your post in the Identification section. Have a read of some other threads to get the idea. When you...

I believe that the columnar tree is Malus Profusion, a cherry-like crab apple. The other I'm not sure of.

A.k.a Sacred Bamboo.:gnthb:

That's the one!!!!! Thank you so much, it's really been bugging me! :yho:

The only really edible one is Sorbus edulis. The berries on this are bigger and sweeter than the ones on the other types.

I agree with Quercus, but not about the thug bit.I kinda like it, but I must admit it does sucker if the surface roots get damaged

yer defo on Liatris

Many thanks clueless I have another what climber is this in the ID forum, and this morning it has come into flower, So I am hoping someone can tell me what it is, It looks great

It sounds like the same plant Peter. My plants don't do well because I'm high up and we get a lot of wind and cold weather. That's why I need to move this veronica plant - I failed three times with buddleia, so last summer I bought one and stuck it in a big pot with pure compost. It has done so...

hmmm..i still think the first is jackmanii, as this links shows two different sepal types look above the large picture and there are 2 smaller pic boxes,showing the two typeshope it helps.

Thanks all, so we're agreed on two things then. They are opium poppies, and they are perfectly legal (presumably as long as they are only used as a garden ornamental).

zinnias most definitely

you seem to have 2 different plants there to me, which one are you refering to? to be honest neither look like foxglove. I'd go with what Aesculus says for the small one...Lupin!

Thank you Quercus. Just looked it up and you got it spot on.

My advice would be to read what it says on the instructions as I haven't used those specific products. But next time I'm in B&Q I will probably spend 5mins and check them out
