Hi Richard, aha, now you're asking! Well, whatever our collective name, you can tell us by our muddier-than-average keyboards!
For anyone wanting more insider knowledge on clematis, by the way, have a watch of this programme clip featuring Richard, when he was interviewed by Carol for Gardeners' World a couple of years ago. (Great tip to remember on pruning!)
I have another flowering plant that's come up in the garden in the last few days that I'd like an ID for, please.
It's about 25cm tall, and has lobed, pinnate leaves similar to some cosmos and marigolds. The flowers are branching from a single stem and are slightly orchid-like. One of the keys to identifying it may be that the flower buds that you can see at the top of the plant have a spur at the base.
This is a beautiful larkspur - an annual delphinium. Enjoy it while you can as it will be gone by the winter. Here is some advice on how to grow more to enjoy next year. Larkspurs are among my favourite flowers, so thank you for sending in these images.
Bugs bunny this is a bicameral. Beautiful large blue flowers, makes a huge plant .but if you let it seed you will see it for years to come .the photo shows the seed pods ,they can be dried and added to dried flower arrangements. But open and remove the small seed first ..you could save it for the seed swap on this forum.

Is there a term used to describe Gardeners World journalists ?
Just curious, Richard.

Hi does anyone know what this plant is please, it has a bluey mauve flower then when the petals drop this seed head appears.
Hi bugsbunny. This plant is Nicandra physalodes also known as the shoo fly plant. It self seeds for me and I love the flowers and the seed heads.
