Do you know what these are?

Hi guys, can anyone help me to identify these beautiful plants? Bottom one had a heavenly scent.

  • The top one's a potato, I would guess 'King Edward' and the yellow one looks like spartium junceum, "Spanish Broom"

    H-C

  • Hahaha! OMG a potato really, I would have never guessed that no wonder I couldn't find it.

    Now that I see Broom yes that is definitely it thanks. I collected a seed pod from it. Any advice what to do with the pod? Thank you Hortum-cretae

    Top one looks like a potato flower (as do the leaves). I would like to see a clearer picture of the bottom one - with some foliage.

  • If you managed to get full ripe pods, once the pod has dried and gone brown, the seed will be easily removed. Sow it in a cold frame (to avoid it getting too wet over winter) and wait until the young plants are easily big enough to prick out and pot up (late next spring, at a guess.

  • Yes and cheese and parsley mmmmmm 

    Thank you HC I will do just that. It has already gone very dry so it's probably a good time now then.

    Ladybird I didn't get any further pics unfortunately but from looking up Broom I am cofident it is that. Thank you though 

    nutcutlet yes I am surprised, who knew nobbly old potatoes had such delicate beautiful flowers.
