I think it may be due to me not cutting the grass for a few weeks, as my mower gear change cables snapped but I have been on it today and I think it’s fixed. So if all goes to plan it might get cut tomorrow

Thanks @Scrungee - oh dear, I better get weeding!

thank you mazambo and KFF -- it is an echium you were right mazambo and there seem to be several varieties so i am getting one that's for sure!thanks again, karaman

Hello @alanaThanks for the reply.I agree, it was also one of my Mums favourites.Unfortunately, it is located behind a couple of new Shrubs where it will just cause issues, if I could relocate it I would but that is not possible.SorryKevin

Hi @CharlesAC The first one is (I think) a euonymus - I'm assuming it's quite shrubby close up? It is a sort of semi-climber, give it a nearby surface and it will sneak upwards. Also produces pretty little fruits if you're lucky. Second one is a variegated vinca. I happen to hate them because...

Pleasure. Harlow Carr used to have a fantastic display of them along the stream.

I don't know anything else about it apart from the picture and that they think the lower branches may be dying. Apparently it gets a lot of sun.

Thanks @Scrungee

Cor, that is a cracker!

Definitely agree. It's much nicer, in my opinion, than other similar Arums as it has such a nice variegation. It tends to get quite rampant if left to its own devices as the seeds heads spread easily (the birds will help ). Its common name is Lords and ladies and the flowers are short lived...

Well I didn't plant radishes.. so I guess I just let it grow and see?This was tonight's effort in the war against caterpillars and slugs. An old trampoline net.A slug ate one of my big strawberries that was beginning to ripen.

I definitely have the frothy white bubbles about so will keep a look out for frog hoppers. Have always wondered about the frothy white 'spits' since I was a kid and now I know ️

Thanks @strongylodon , I googled Oncidium and indeed you are spot on

Have this in my mothers garden, but no idea what exactly it is. Any ideas???

We really do have to attribute so much to a Grand Creator, Mother Nature, The Natural world. A simple act of plants reproducing themselves.Perhaps the simplest method is by wind distribution, including the familiar 'winged' seeds of Ash and Sycamore species. Then there are those species...

I,ve just done a Google search on tree ivy and it comes up with fatshedera ,that's not quite what lm referring to, that is a hybrid. I'm going back to the 1970s when doing this kind of thing was fashionable.

Hi guys,thanks for the advice.I was ready to go in and pull up the lot, so appreciate the pointers.think I will take my time to workout what ones are the willow weeds and at least get them out.
