Identification Area

Silver trailing plant left hand rear is Silver Helichrysum (was waiting outside house for OH & daughter when posting other 2, but they came out before posting 3rd).

Do you think it's arrival means a Tsusnami is coming my way?

They can be a blessing or a curse depending on how much you like them.They are somewhat like dandelions - perennial, have yellow petals and incredibly annoying taproots that easily snap off and regerate new plants. Not quite as hardy or vigorous as dandelions but can still be a pain in the...

We have lots of elder elsewhere, so that is good. I think the issue with it here is that it out competes those plants around it and is a bit of a moisture hog. It can end up sticking out like a sore thumb and hold back the other stuff.

It's not Percy Wiseman, but a very similar colouring

Thank you, that's really helpful. Apparently the geraniums have never flowered so I'm not surprised none of the neighbours knew what they were! Their best guess was a strawberry plant. I'm not really surprised, the geraniums have been entirely left to their own devices in a completely shaded...

Thank you people. That makes sense. Much appreciated Cheers, Russ

Thank you

I'm over the moon you've suggested camellia! I love them but had no idea. It's obviously in need of a lot of TLC so I'll get on that straight away!

Limelight lights up a corner in my garden, although I`m really glad I took advice from an expert and kept it in a pot.

Many thanks Nigel -looked it up following your reply. Yes that looks correct. Regards, Martyn

Oh good as I have thought Quinoa as mine germinated..

Thank you so much. I've been so worried, you've put my mind at rest. Yes I will get some Epsom salts tomorrow. Your a star.

Oriental poppy - you should be seeing a flower bud forming very soon

that's brilliant

They smell like 2nd hand incontinence pads Very easily dug out, hoed down or pulled out especially in loose soil but the seeds seem to linger forever. Once you've got them, you've got them for a long time; not a major invader, just a long-time inconvenience but a beautiful one nevertheless

Should have been 1st April!

No idea, other than ... it's a corker! What a lovely "inheritance"

Well, it took about 4 hours to dig it all out and another 4 hours to install all the fences and posts! I'm glad it's all over, back breaker!
