I sat in the garden yesterday and watched a bee going in and out of these 'trumpets' for about an hour - heavy smoker do you reckon?? :hehe:

Be very careful it could be nightshade.

You beat me to it Blackthorn. :D

Splendid Cannas Roders (and Vicky). I'll be interested to see how they do over winter.

Oh thankyou Dai. I've just googled it and realise it's the thing I keep trying to dig up from everywhere, without any success. Just seen it's got an order of merit - so perhaps I should flog the berries and make my fortune !!

Looking again at the pic of Plant D, I think that I got it wrong with honeysuckle and that seedstotal is spot on with hypericum. Claire, please stop doing yourself down with your id-ing of plants, you get them right quite a lot, at least as good (and bad) as the rest of us on here. :gnthb: Laura

Just to add to that - it is only an annual Fairly easily grown from seed but needs a bit of heat to get going Great for that 'Tropical garden' look

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
