Identify Plants

VoyagerxpVoyagerxp Posts: 651

the first plant was given to me over 10 years ago but i don't know its name. The pics below are now as its just coming back after winter, it has purple flowers in the summer. Its a nice plant but keeps coming up through my gravel further away from the plant.

    The middle one is some sort of geranium, the bottom (probably Spanish) bluebells.

    The top I can't see and can't enlarge

    The top pic is the same plant as the middle. Don't know how the blubells got there, ive lived here since 2005 and never planted any in this gravel bed.

    I can't zoom in for a closer look but my best guess would be a geranium and possibly bluebells.

    I've been having problems with my pics not zooming, don't know why.

    My wife has come in with this today too from the alpine section at the local garden center. She has picked it up without the tag, what is it.

    That's a drumstick primula, Primula denticulata.

    I don't think the plant with grassy leaves is Spanish bluebell, Nut - the leaves look too narrow. But time will tell!

     I've noticed on one of these grassy plants it has a white flower coming through.

    Keep them under 1MB in size and they should zoom OK.

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.
