    Blackest- you need to do these pix in a way that us mere mortals can work with!!image

    Hope you're not working too hard in that garde in the heat - we get worried about you if you don't post for a while image

    Can't help with that red one either -sorry. Some knowledgeable person like Dove, nut or Verd will know!

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...

    will try again mystery Plants

    Think it takes a bit more than just pasting a link image this should work thou

    Success! 1 and 8 look like sweet rocket  - Hesperis. 11 looks like ragwort John so I'd get rid of that! image

    The borders you've got planted up are looking great - you must be pleased with the results after all the effort you put in earlier. Did you sow a wildflower mix?

    1 & 8 look like night scented stock to me (easy to tell - powerful fragrance in the evening.) 

    4: poppies (in foreground)

    5: lupin (in need of tlc!)

    7: don't know but want one!

    10: possibly a dwarf dahlia (or a weed!)

    KEF- thanks  I will look that up.

    Mattbeer, it is fab isn't it. It's called Estrella Voodoo Star. I always think it looks like a secret sweetie, I don't normally go for plants like that but it is gorgeous.

    I love to look at all the photos.

     Any idea what this red fella might be ?

     

    Seen something that leaf shape and that habit that produced small bright yellow flower, but plant was lime green..weeded it out image

  • Lupin 1Lupin 1 Posts: 8,916

    Looked at pics Blackest and third along top row grows in my garden & I've weeded that as well..just watch it be something lovely image

    Going back to the red thing it's like a red version of rape.

  • blackestblackest Posts: 623

    third one gets really nice as more and more flower heads open it does have a similar look to a weed with a yellow flower that tends to pop up on piles of earth.  You missed out i reckon image

    The red one I think maybe in that list will be interesting to see what it produces. I've a fair number of these but they are struggling to compete for light. they are nice quite different.
