Identification Area

Thank you @noisette47 I think I'm going to go with some nice pots.

She was a lovely one ☺ Our cat is Holly and she's 16. We've noticed that she's a bit arthritic up and down stairs but she still enjoys life and loves being in the garden on sunny days.. Unusually for a cat she also likes going out in the rain, and gets under the patio table!

According to my trusty tree book, had it years, English Elm produces very few seeds that are actually viable and most trees were reproduced from suckers. Which is why they were so susceptible to Dutch Elm Disease, most of the ones in certain areas were actually clones.

Yeah buddleia.

I'll remember that @Selleri

Thanks @Silver surfer and @pete definitely not thrown elder seed on there, it's also the mealworm and sultana bed so the birds must have brought it in, not something I think I want.

Yep the one you gave me years ago has spread but it never becomes a problem.

Great stuff, thanks for the ID SS.Blackstart

Bearing in mind what you are saying about wanting winter colour in doors. Lots of people grow it purely as a house plant, so three cuttings set around and three inch pot to root. Once rooted move up to a 5 inch pot. That way you get a nice bushy house plant. You can do that any time.

Just found the label that came off mine

Its not a sun flower, its probably come from wild bird seed. Or agricultural land if you have any near you.Its just about to flower, leave it, nice yellow flowers, but not a sunflower.

The silver one is Calocephalus brownii, the second looks like a sangina.

Thanks for the reply folks. It looks like it is too good to be true. However at least I know what plants are in the picture if nothing else.Thanks

Pete - thank you so much!

The Hamburg is much better in chicken soup than using ordinary turnip.
