Ashley, if you find a picture with flowers and leaves then use it but, at this stage, don't stress yourself trying to have a picture of leaves with every plant.
ok, i have done 2 plants. First is Geranium Rozanne - flowers in spring to autumn, Herbacious perennial, likes full sun or partial shade, should that be just shade? The second one i've done is Geum Totally Tangerine, i've put flowers spring to autumn, likes sun and Herbacious perennial. Does that info sound ok? I want to cover some of the plants that flower in spring, can you name me a few please?
That info is fine Ashley. The following are some spring flowering bulbs that can be grown in pots or in the ground- snowdrops crocus tulips and daffodils but there are far too many different types of them to try to do so maybe just do two types of them eg a tall one and a short one.
Plants- primroses drumstick primula dicentra
These are the ones commonly bought in garden centres in spring.
My friend has sent me 5 images of plants with 5 names and im to guess which plant is which. The names are, Lobelia, Nepeta, Petunia, Verbena and bacopa, I was told today that the common Verbena has a distinctive leaf shape, i want to do a card on Verbena but it's hard to choose a decent image. I've typed into google common verbena and it's showing purple flowers. Verbena i saw was all different colours with the 3 spear shaped leaf. At the garden centre we have Begonias, Petunia, Dicentra, Dahlias, Marigolds and gerranium, i don't know which varieties. How can i do the cards when i don't know the varieties?
You are getting stressed out with this Ashley! Too much information will just confuse you. Can you take pictures of the plants in the garden centre along with the information card that comes with it. I have been gardening for over 45 years and still wouldn't know the variety of a flower, know it's say a geranium but not the name I either look it up or hope it's got a label. I stand in awe of say Carol Kliene who can rattle off unpronouncable Latin names. You are doing fine being on the forum I am learning a lot by looking at the plant id questions coming across things I know but never knew the name of, whether I remember is quite another question,
Today i have typed out about Petunia Happy Dream. A picture of light purpley flowers going darker further in the flower. Then i have typed Herbaceous perennial, full sun and flowers spring to autumn. Is that information correct? What other bedding plants can i do?
