Identification Area

Thank you folks for the response,..great information and links,..''Matthiola incana'',..thats most certainly what they are,..i must read up on them as the described blooms look promising.

Ah, now that is a good thought! There are a lot of parakeets around here and around that park too - you may well have hit on something there.

Thanyou both, yes it does look like a possibility, but never seen it fruit, I usually try to get rid of it before that happens. The hedge down the road gets clipped a couple of times a year so I dont think that fruits either.

Super, will do.

That's a different milkweed @CanadianLori, the plant the Monarch butterfly eats is in the Ascepias family. The weed identified in this thread is in the Euphorbia family. Both share the same common milkweed name

Don't think I would have got that one.

Hi I think I found a bug not sure but very tiny and on beside this furry plant I was asking about.. If bug I found it on the yellow plant beside it..

Wonderful photos Silver Surfer, thank you so much. I have had a reply from Satty re which Arisaema would be best suited to here so yes the bank balance will be trashed! I intend on buying 3 bulbs of various varieties, good idea? Do you by chance know how far apart I should plant them and am I...

Thankyou so much I’m going to buy these or even better get some cuttings , if they grow from cuttings that is!

Thanks @Perki and all 3 agreers , named pic is now safely installed in my new online plant photo album.

Good morning @Victoria my dear friend well I never they look almost like toys thank you for posting the photo

The voice of reason, @pete It's not as though the average garden centre is going to lose any sleep over their labelling

Oh well this will suit my identification needs...I hope!! I don't use the laptop or desktop computers now as I prefer my tablet. I have created a flower index album on my tablet so these pics will only be going into there. I still have the plain versions stored in my 'normal ' photo album, so...

Thanks JWK, il go dig it out x

There is no fennel bulb so must be Dill. Don’t like fennel even if it was so looks like this is going on the compost! Thanks Scrungee.

A few pics of Physalis for any one who does not know it.

Ricky187,I am so very sorry to hi jack your thread..so very rude of me. Apologies.

Hello Lisa, welcome to GC Pete's right, it's Sambucus or elderberry. I'm afraid it's not entirely benign, though. It will become a big tree left to it's own devices. Birds spread the berries around, so you could end up with a lot more than one. It sounds as though it's in a tricky position...
