none taken, quite funny really.

Thanks for answer,most appreciated

I have Allium hollandicum 'Purple Sensation', Allium christophii, and the Allium sphaerocephalon above. Of these I like A. Christophii the best - it flowers longer, the seed heads last longer, and has more presence. But there are other Alliums. Anyone else have a favorite, or know of a better...

Such a pretty rose! Does it have a perfume?

It looks like one in my garden, which has just finished flowering. It then spends the rest of the year putting out long straggly growth, but no more flowers. There's a white one as well which flowers a bit later, even smaller flowers. They're very pretty but hard work, I've no idea what they...

http://vegetablemdonline.ppath.cornell.edu/Images/WeedHosts/Com_Teasel2.jpg shows a rosette of the leaves at about the right stage for this - and http://images.google.com/images?q=teasel&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en gives a whole range of pics of teasels in various states. Hope that helps!

Just a word of caution here. It doesn't seem to survive in London, and this from a man with a Jade plant growing happily in his garden for the last 7 years. I haven't grown it, but a client up the road has (tried). If they're easy to lift I would suggest it might be worth the effort. Good Luck!

It looks very similar, if it goes quite a lot pinker as it matures, then yes thats prolly peace.When trying to identify roses - bearing in mind the huge numbers, you look at leaf colour (old and new) bud - single multiple and breaking, and flower - colour, shape and petals (new and old)...

Yes, think it was the pale leaves that made me think Jacobs Ladder too, now it is greener easier to see... :D

Cheers Pete mate, think you've hit the nail on the head there bud.Thanks again.

thankyou kindly everyone.

Thank you Frogesque

Thats how I remember it "Fao & Cubs". It does seem to be slowly seeding itself about, but has not prooved itself to be a thug, so I may allow it to come into the garden.

last one def sisyrinchium striatum - not sure about cultivars of the rest, but think clematis could be C. rosemoor'Evipo002' - lovely name! http://images.google.com/images?q=clematis+rosemoor+evipo002&ie=ISO-8859-1&hl=en [ 18. June 2006, 01:28 PM: Message edited by: dendrobium ]

Hornbeam and Fran - thanks for info. It seems to be running wild at the moment but will save some seeds.

That's just what I need at the moment! I've lots of empty borders.

In addition, aubretia is the smallest flower and leaf, about 1/2", campanula is bigger, maybe 1", and vinca is the biggest. Aubretia and campanula form flower carpets with leaves only visible round the edges, vinca is not so densely flowered.

It is a liverwort.

Do you prune them? There's a question here which hasn't had an answer: http://www.gardenerscorner.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=18;t=000011;p=1#000000 Thought you might know!

Yours could do with some grub water and looser soil if its to stay in the pot. I had one in a pot and they don't like their roots capped in a heavy JI3 mix. Some pics of mine.
