That's exactly what it is - woohoo!! Thank you so much Pete, strongylodon and Rhyleysgranny

Thanks for all your advice. :gnthb:I shan't be doing any pulling then! - Just carefull spraying. Thanks again everyone, you've been so helpful.Hopefully I'll be hopping free soon!

:thmb: Yes definitely is as I have one at the top of my garden... :wink:

Spobilsy Nultaw. lol

Chelsea cut......... chopping down herbaceous perrenials at the end of May (during Chelsea Flower Show week). the plants will regrow, flower later than if they'd been left (So extending the season), and often sturdier, so not needing so much staking!

Thanks David, it does seem like the back of the plant head is wrinkled (like a dark green cabbage) as if it's 'restrained' somehow. I wonder if it's a nasturtium or geranium (due to it's size) then. It's like a single leaf that is distorted into a trumpet shape. Unfortunately I'm an even...

Its quite funny actually. I have found quite a number of them in various places in my garden. I can remember having a few but I seem to have more than I planted and in different places! lol. This is the best one by far, the others are at various stages of growth so are still only babies. I...

Its supposed to keep away moles.I've got it in my garden, it grows as a weed. Never seen a mole, so it must work.:D

It's a pretyy shrub. Soo called as pheasant's like the berries. If you live rural you will get pheasants. I do

Remove them IMMEDIATELY, they can gain a hold quickly and put down strong roots.

Thanks guys!does anyone have any recs for a tree to fit our needs?

Hmmm. Looks like some sort of fungus but your description of "felt-like" is puzzling. Is there much of it? You could try giving the area a good scarifying to break it up. That should certainly do no harm and you can always go thermonuclear later....

Aphids I'd say.just a normal insecticide spray should sort them out.

Hi folks. Well, I was down the garden centre today, and they were actually selling it there too !

Thanks Peter, I have overwintered them in my greenhouse and they have continued to grow and are now in flower. Some of my other ones did look as though they had died but are now starting to come back to life :gnthb: Which I am very pleased about.

I agree, bit of a strange question, or series of questions Helen.Could you elaborate a bit further as to what your actually wanting to know.I would say that all those plants can be found throughout the UK.And as all grass is more or less wind pollinated, the pollen goes a very long way.

Hi Lollipop sounds just like me,well said:thumb: I just love it:cl-p:

It's opened fully with the sun-what a beauty, thanks guys.

Definitely Helleborus, probably niger.

That was quick! Thanks Aesculus and Pete.
