maybe not god to put mear the veg patch im creating or the sunflowers then??

I agree with Pete! What I'm seeing is: Variegated laurel [last pic looks like leaf from it] Plain Laurel [complete bush with leaf bark round] Cotoneaster [branches only showing with orange/red berries] Ceanothus [more like whole bush shown] Buddleia with what looks like a choisya in right...

:D I han't thought of Lady's Smock! If it is then it will quite likely have self seeded and come back without any encouragement. Can be a persitent perenial weed but the spring leaves are edible and can be used in salads. Tastes something like watercress. [ 03. January 2006, 06:31 PM:...

http://www.malvaceae.info/Cistaceae/Genera/Helianthemum/gallery.html This gallery has a picture of rhodanthe carneum which looks very much as you describe, ecxept more pink. If it is this, cuttings in August should work.

the 3rd appers to be a snap dragon - sorry t not know the exact name! (-:

Thanks Liz!Thats the one http://www.plantzafrica.com/plantqrs/senectam.htmeven says it will stand frost, just loses its leaves and grows back...nice oneIts about 3 foot high Pete, from a 3 inch cutting a year ago

oops meant

I'm not 100% sure, but I think those growing on the cliffs in Cornwall are "hottentot figs", Carpobrotus Edulis.

Hi me again, just looked it up in one of my gardening books, appears all parts can cause stomach upsets if ingested, glad I did'nt taste it. The one I saw looks like Euonymus Hamiltonianus Sieboldianus "Red Elf" acording to my book.Sue

Any chance of a picture?

Not sure and I emphasise NOT SURE, but I dont think any are poisonous, just that most are not palateable or are a bit furry etc.

A garden I work in has honey fungus as well and I've just discovered a possible control method using Early Purple Orchid (Orchis mascula).Webmesh: Honey FungusAnyone any experience or comments about this?

Just the ideal spot for it.

To you all.You were right after all. Thank you for the valuable information. I now know my plant to be ARUM ITALICUM MARMARATUM.You say it poisonous but something in my garden is silly enough to nibble on it.Once agan, thank you for finding this for me.I will mark it immediately.Thanks.

Thanks Pete - looks like it's Sorbus intermedia (Swedish whitebeam) - see this Now that I know what it is, I can find out how best to control its growth - thanks very much for your help!

it is growing at work by our canteen it is labelled i did walk to see with 6 other people none had pen half hour later none could remember name will be back wednesday will write it down :D :D

Me too! It's extremely yummy!

Thanks for the best wishes, I never think to look at the profiles, have to start looking.
