Lysteria £2.00 and Pakcmon 75p.... can anyone through any light on them. They are just leaves at the moment ..

 

Lysteria... Probably Leycesteria formosa.

Thank you I really do like the that one

 

I thought that was a bacteria associated with food poisoning

 

Me to and you can get a mouth wash to make it better

 

I really, really would like one of those in my garden but I've been having such a job finding one locally

 

Well it was at the docs surgery,

If there are any in your area they normally self seed and can flower first year with a bit of care.
The birds spread the seed, I get them coming up in all kinds of places, even cracks in concrete.

 

I bought one last year mum, if I can get a cutting I will send you one.

 

Oh Pam, I would be ever so grateful! What a kind offer: thank you!

 

I though the pak thing was a veg ? They are all grown with people with ' health' issues

 

If, as Silver Surfer says, it is in fact Pak Choi, then yes, it is a vegetable and used in Asian dishes.

 

Here is a picture of the Lysteria ( I think they have spelt it wrongly )

 

You have a very healthy plant there!
LEYCESTERIA formosa... common name Himalayan honeysuckle./Pheasant berry.etc
You will notice that the young juvenile leaves are a completely different shape to those of the adult plant.
