    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 image 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 image

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

  • 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

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

  • 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.
