Identification Area

Pleased to be able to say you were all correct, it would appear to be common Fleabane and it can stay while it flowers. The guinea pig has moved on to its owners new home on an estate with postage stamp garden and a small lawn that is totally free of anything other than grass, pretty boring...

Thanks for that Jenny. I think that you may well have hit the bullseye with your suggested Weigela. From Googling it appears that my bush is one.

I must admit I've always quite like it. I went out yesterday to see the patches in my brothers garden (it was there when he moved in) and it's completely brown and crispy. They are in decent soil and partial shade but this summer and drought has just frazzled it. It doesn't ever spread beyond...

I've never seen one, the moth that is, so nice to see it's about

Brilliant! Thank you.

@pete, I bet you are right, it's only about 4 feet from my bird feeder. Many thanks.

That’s interesting to read @simone_in_wiltshire . Next time we’re in a GC I’ll take a look for some seeds. Thanks

I agree with @Silver surfer , Convolvulus tricolor is fairly short and non-climbing. It was annual for me, but it might come through the winter in warm places. (Warm/mild in winter that is!)

Wonderful. Thank you so much @Pete8 and @Silver surfer

Flower pics.

Crinum powelli...A stunning flower. I have always loved the distinctive curled male stamen.

See above.Up here nearly every new house has one in the garden. Many are OK but many are now hideous. /weird.

here's a pic taken this morning

That's it, thanks so much @AnniD ! I must have one, it's a lovely shrub. Sadly I'm yet to catch the owner of the plant I walk past most days, or I would ask to be allowed to take cutting. Perhaps now that nights are getting darker...

Thanks a lot for your confirmation and name
