Solved ID please.

Hi all,
Could anyone please identify what these 2 are so I can care accordingly



Thanks in advance

 

1) Looks like a Cranesbill Geranium,.

2) Definitely a Foxglove.

 

Thank you @Scrungee the Cranesbill can stay but after reading up on Foxgloves being poisonous for dogs that may have to go

 

Have lots of foxgloves in the garden here and the dogs have never decided they want to eat them. The flowers it gets in its second year of growth are very popular with the bumble bees. There are lots of garden plants that are poisonous but are not a problem as they generally are not eaten by anything.

 

Thank you @Macraignil . When I looked them up I really liked them but when it said about the dogs I got a little worried. To be honest when I've looked on the list there is nearly every plant known to man on it . Are yours in pots or in the ground?

 

I just have the wild type purple flowered ones growing and I think they are all in the ground but have had them sprout in pots at times as well. They self seed fairly easily so once you learn to recognise them and avoid weeding them out when they are small they will pretty much look after themselves. I transplanted some before from my vegetable plot when I was clearing the ground for planting and have been able to keep them growing in good numbers in the garden easily enough since then. Shaking the old flower spikes about the place helps spread the seeds out of them. Some of the cultivated types look nice but I'm happy enough just to encourage the ones I have found as wildflowers which cost less. There are some of them visible flowering in this video clip.
Happy gardening!

 

Brilliant, thanks. I'm not sure what type I have here but I'll keep it in the pot and see what I get

 

Yes @shiney I completely agree. It can be pretty worrying when you look at these lists. I have a puppy, he's very inquisitive as you can imagine and he's tiny so gets into spaces you wouldn't imagine. I would like to grow them so I'll keep this one in the pot for now until I learn about them a little more then hopefully I can put it in the border then grow a second set of eyes
