Received a fab birthday pot containing various things which have now finished flowering. I’d love to know if I can move some of these into the ground now and hopefully have them bigger and better next year! I have no idea what they’re called though - any suggestions please?

    The bottom one looks like a Wallflower seedpod.

    The top one looks like Skimmia.

    Skimmias need shade and neutral to [preferably] acidic soil, with decent moisture, to thrive,  so get it in the ground if you have that. If you don't, you'll need a large container that you can fill appropriately. They hate alkaline soil   :)

    The rest seems to be a mix of wallflowers, as said already, pansies, primulas and ivy.
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
