I have a large number of pictures of plants from my garden which I cannot put exact names to, any help would be most appreciated. TIA. No.0. April. Succulent leaves, clasping reddish stem N0 1 June Either Camassia, Anthericum or Paradisea No 2 June Phlox, but which? Added P. bifida alba(?) N0 3 June Silene but which Silene schafta(?) N0 4 Sept. Potentilla but which? N0 5 June No ideas at all beyond Campanulacea Codonopsis grey-wilsoni N0 6 June Paeony ? emodii (?) No 7 May Potentilla alba No 8 May No idea No 9 May Saxifrage No 10 May Geranium but which? Edited to add the names of ones which I have been given, argue with them if you do not agree. :-D
Gee, Palustris, you've got some lovelies there! I haven't got a clue to the exact names on any of your plants. Give me some time, and I'll search around a bit. I think #8 is a Penstemon of some kind.
Heck Eric, if you don't know then what chance do I have!?! However, I will happily browse my books and see what I can come up with, any excuse to do some investigating.
Thanks folks. I was just beeing lazy and hopeful. No 5 we think is Codonopsis grey-wilsoni and No.7 is probably Potentilla alba. No 9 is a Saxifrage. Only 246 others to go!
I think... No. 10 is a variety of Geranium himalayense and no.6 looks like some kind of dog rose/Rosehip Rosa rubiginosa. Not sure so dinnae quote me...
