This year I've gone seed planting mad! (Poppies, Rudbeckias, Sunflowers, Helicrysums, Branchycome Daisies & various veggies too) My windowsils are full. Brachycome Daisies are growing well but long & leggy. Can anyone tell me if they are a trailing plant please? Thank you.
Some help needed to identify a plant. It has leaves similar in shape to a caster oil plant but the leaves have the same texture as a cheese plant. I've grown it outdoors for years, it's evergreen, and in a sheltered spot stands up to snow and frost, it like's sun and drinks alot of water as it's grown in a pot. I've seen it in a neighbours garden and it will grow to 6 or 7 ft. I've kept it at about 2ft and grown it in a bush shape, it's branches, if you can call them that are formed after breaking off the leaves like a yucca but I don't have a picture. Any idea's as to what it is...

Brachycombe is a very pretty trailing plant - trimming it back will help it to bush out I take cuttings from my plants at the end of the summer for the following year and in the Spring if they are getting a bit unruly have been known to take the scissors to them without any detrimental effect
Hi, I can't seem to upload a photo of a mystery flower! It's a jpg, but when I try to add to a post, I get an error message saying 'image is not a valid file type. Please check and try again'...? What type of file should it be? Please help. Thank you! Helen
Thanks Alina. The image is under 1MB and is a jpg, but it still won't let me upload it. BUT....I have managed to save the image as my profile photo, so will ask if anyone recognises that! Thanks for your help.

Thank you Pam. Very helpful advise. I hope to plant them outside in a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed for successful blooms!

It should be a jpg, and under 1 MB in size - perhaps it's the latter that is the problem?
