  • Yes they are all the same. I'll try to do some more photos tonight. They are looking some what sad now, having been left outside in the cold/wet and attacked by the snails... At least they like them!

    they don't look as interesting as the flytraps would have been



    In the sticks near Peterborough
  • Well, we drove through Buckinghamshire on Friday and they didn't attack us! image

    Look after them Tim - if they survive until next year and flower we may be able to identify them - wouldn't that be fun image

    I bet they're not hardy. Are they worth protected space?image

  • OK latest photo, as I said they look pretty sad ATM, but seeing how pot bound they were in my carnivorous compost mix they should recover now in proper compost:

  • The one in the brown pot puts me in mind of a tradascantia? 

  • Thanks for the suggestion, having googled and looked on the rhs I think they remain unidentified image
  • Only one survives now and its flowered!... But not very exciting, suspect it's a "weed" but does this picture give any one a clue? Thanks.

  • My pennyworth is perhaps its some sort of Salvia (from the look of the stems/ ageing leaves ) or Ageratum? or relative, but if it is in the Asteraceae it could be one of a multitude. Try to get it to flower next year of send the photos to the RHS advisory service if you are a member of the RHS. it is a curious puzzle.
