    We're pretty good aren't we Mike. Silver Surfer posts here occasionally

    I like a bit of detective work. It keeps me out of mischief in the evening. I don't get much enjoyment from TV watching so I don't watch. 

    But I don't sit waiting, I wouldn't have the patience. I just wander through from time to time.

  • THANKYOU to all for your help.I am 99% sure nutculet has found the plant.

    The plant is called "Honesty".



    I have already planted one in my garden but by looking at the plant profile on plant finder I think I have made an error by not waiting for the plant to seed then use them next year...

    Suppose I will learn the difference beetween plants you can just plant and move to another place..and then the plants that you have to wait for seeds to develop the more experienced I get..

    Thanks to all the members that helped find my plant ID.

     Here's my Honesty patch today.  They're 4 foot high.

  • They are the ones.i think they are a lovely delicate woodland style plant. Would I plant seeds now for next year or wait till later in the year before planting seeds.As by the way it sounds by members is that I have missed the chance to have them this year due to trying to move a grown plant instead of using seeds



    Thanks

    Your moved plant may survive perfectly well and seed in your garden. Look after it

    Interesting that this lovely plant, that we call 'Honesty', is called something very different in the Netherlands where it is known as 'Judas's pennies' - not an exact translation but close enough.  Guess the seed pods look like the 'pieces of silver' that Judas was given.

    Some people also call it the money plant.
