Hi I would be ever so grateful if you could ID my friends two plants,the first she recently bought in local market at a cheap price,the second is squat among debris in her new neglected garden..thank you
One looks a bit like impatiens to me.
Can you take a pic of 2 with some leaves in
In the sticks near Peterborough
Is the first one a New Guinea Impatiens ?
yes i will get her to take more pics of no2 it is quite vague
,thank you very much for the impatiens answer,most plants look "familiar" to me but putting a name to them isnt easy thank you for your quick response :0
Hi again sorry she had a third one too she wasnt too sure if it was a weed or not
thanks
Linaria purpurea. Opinion will be divided on whether or not it's a weed
In the sticks near Peterborough
That's the bugger! Yet another plant I bought and then forgot about. Hopefully it'll flower this year.
Wow Nut'

I was told by a wise gardener that every plant has had its turn of biegn in fashion over the last century .
