Not sure what this is

MynxMynx Posts: 101

Hi all, can anyone tell me what this plant is? It looks as though it should be a much deeper colour and has faded. If this is the case, what should I do to bring it back to life? Many thanks all.

    Top one is one of the Achilleas and the blue one looks like Meadow Cranesbill - Geranium pratense.

    Thanks Ladybird - do you think it looks very faded? I'm sure it should be more colourful? image

    I should have said the Achillea is the right colour and has not faded. This plant comes in many colours - some pale and some vibrant.

    I should also have added that some pale as they get older and some go darker - just to confuse us even further! image

    I think the bottom one will turn out to be larkspur when we see a better photo.

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

    The leaves of the blue one don't look to me quite right for a geranium.

    That's because it's not a geranium lamweedy. image

    I'm still waiting for more photos
