Both of these plants are quite distinctive, so hopefully you can let me know what they are. A friend has them growing in his garden and has asked the question. (Sorry the 2nd one is on its side).   |

Yes, that is what I was thinking of andy, - it's a bit old though and a house plant here, not for the garden. |

Reminds me of our Armeria maritima but a google brought up "Laxmannia squarrosa (syn. Laxmannia morrisii) ...... Its heavy honey scent attracts insects such as ants, bees and beetles, birds" and Laxmannia squarrosa Lindl. " If it is none of those I can ask an Australian friend of mine if he knows dierama,... |

Hi All many thanks for giving this unusual plant a go. The multiple flowers along the stem give it a bit of mystery. It would be great Rosefriend if you might ask your friend in Australia what it could be. At first I thought it might belong to the Scabious family, but then thought not.
Many thanks

Is the top one some sort of scilla bagpuss? The bottom one is very pretty but I have no idea - sorry. |

The blue one looks like a Muscari.

Is the top one a form of Chionodoxa or Scilla as Jasmine said?? I was wondering what I've got in some pots and now I've seen Chionodoxa in print ... it rings a massive bell. Thanks RF and bagpuss for posting it |

bagpuss, I think the blue one looks like some type of Muscari too but the leaves don't match..... I love the white one with the blue tips, I think it's a Chinodoxa too. Here the National Trust property Mount Stewart will identify any plants you take a pic of that are growing in their gardens, perhaps Sissinghurst or the NT itself might do the same for you if you contact them.

Ron, Rosefriend, andy, dierama, Barbara, Ladygardener, bagpuss, Jasmine, maglonian, Tig, Can anyone ID this `plant'? It is very pretty but it is more invasive than forget me nots on my allotment plot. It almost grows like them, but the leaves are quite fleshy and the flowers minute. The flowers are a really pale blue and in some lights almost look silver.

Could it be a white Myosotis.....forget-me-not  Edit.....sorry just re-read your text, not Myosotis |

Post by Rosefriend on Apr 20, 2017 6:03:59 GMT
Must admit I thought it could be a variety of Myosotis as I know there is one that looks very similar....

It's lovely bagpuss, but I can't identify it, if you can keep it contained then maybe hang onto it. Do the bees go for it? |
