Identification Area

I have to agree. Around here'ish there is a municipal bed that was planted up with low growing plants so as to spell out some anniversary or something. Guess what - it's illegible!! To frame this disaster they've used a couple of hundred Echeveria elegans which are planted into the heavy...

@Snorky85 if there are some low-lying stems leave them attached to the parent plant-dig out a little grove to put them in, cover over with soil then pop a wire peg over them to keep them in contact with the soil or I've even place brick on them and they have rooted by next year- you have two...

Nice one cheers

They'd probably nick your shiny ornaments only getting magpies at the moment

Thank you all for making me feel very welcome, looking forward to looking on site and making new garden buddies

Thanks for your observations Verdun .I will follow your advice and see what happens .

Hello Silver Surfer, Thank you so much for your help and links. Looking at it again, it does look more like a Lonicera rather than weigela. However, both are pruning group 2 which is the important thing and now I can give it the care it deserves. Very kind of you to say that it is a "very...

oh thanks for the heads-up - i think i'll keep it in a big pot and next year, include it in my rounds in the middle of the night with torch and salted boiling water.....

Well, I've never divided one of this kind before but a lot of ferns are possible to split. Personally I'd take a chance and cut down through the base with a sharp knife after knocking it out of the pot, and then dragging it apart at root level to leave both parts with some good roots. It might...

It looks like a Mint to me in flower.Try rubbing some of the leaves and see what scent you get off of it.It should smell like the Mint you add to peas and new potatoes although there are quiet a few different types the ones that grow in damp conditions and they should be in flower at this time...

@Snorky85 Maybe ....guess the rest LOL Hope your seed spreader flys my way too

yeh, i think you right - couldnt take better pic 'cos it was too windy and the brick wall was too high. Thanks, karaman

1 and 2 Gleditsia has no terminal leaflet.3 Robinia... note....has a terminal single leaf.Pete was spot on.

The mystery plant turned out to be Bidens tripartita. A weed or a wildflower depending on your point of view As I've got too many 'wildflowers' already, it's gone to that great compost heap in the sky......

@martyn bromleyand thank you for your kind comments Look forward to your updates - Buzzz ZZZ Wishes from ME

I believe the one on the top-right may be Echeveria Purple Pearl. The one on the left looks like Echeveria Blue Curls. Not sure about the one at the bottom though - however someone with more succulent knowledge will probably be able to confirm for sure!

Whatever it is, its gone now. It had no root so it must have blown in from somewhere else.G.

This is a delicate thing with tiny pink flowers. I uncovered it when I trimmed away some dead bushes. The photo may have come out better if I had cleared the leaves first.It is serving no purpose there. Could it be used elsewhere?G.
