I haven't noticed any scent, but only 1 open so far. I am 80, and have noticed that my sense of smell has definately deteriorated over the years....
Time for an update. During the summer, it grew LOTS of roots. It also put up 5 new canes. It must like me, because today it opened the first...
If they were fully developed, I would, but the buds are only just starting to peek out of the top, but still growning, very slowly. After the...
Thanks, pete That is what I suspected, but I am the eternal optimist. The buds are still within the leaf sheaths, and I have spoken to them, very...
Hi all I have several Hedychium planted out, and this year, my H. coronarium started to show buds, for the first time, but too late in the year to...
Well I can say, with some confidence, that E. virgineus is what it is. Checking my records, I found that Euryops tysonii (Tyson's Euryops) is also...
Thanks @Silver surfer That certainly looks like the correct genus. Now to try and pin down which of the 100+ species it is, though E. virgineus is...

Spotted today in Hayle, west Cornwall. It sort of reminds me of a plant I saw in Australia, but that's as far as I can go. Plant is approx 3'...
@CarolineL What you found is, I believe, one of the Cladonia sp. of Reindeer moss/lichen. Down here in Kernow, I've often come across it on the...

While doing a bit of spotting for the National Hedgehog Monitoring Project, I came across a sequence, taken 19-08-24. I've never seen a magpie...
Hi Purple Streaks These were the first seed I have grown since I returned to UK from Oz in 2015 I've never tried any of the "living stones" from...
Thanks, Michael That is one I hadn't considered. The problem with a lot of Mamms is their similarity to each other.Fof
I got these recently from a local GC. This one contained 3 small plants, and was labelled M. toluca. [ATTACH] The 2 at the back are actually M....
Fairygirl (love the name :SUNsmile:) The large leaves are those of the Rodgersia which is co-planted with the Filipendula
Just had an email from the head gardener, and he has comfirmed that it is F. rubra 'Venusta', co-planted with a Rodgersia.
Just heard back from Tom, the head gardener. He has ID'd it as B. discolor. For once I appear to have been leaning in the right direction, rather...
Hi Silver surfer Some miscommunication, I fear. I was not disagreeing with you. Exactly the opposite. I included the image from University of...
