[Weeterrier]

That's another spectacular photo from you Amo, you take a great picture.

Here is a Cornus canadensis, and a couple of Trilliums which came from a skip. Both are bulking up really well.

[Ruthie]

Amo that Angelica's lovely, against that blue sky! I've grown it for years. Over 6' high and nearly as wide in the back but onl;y about 4' and much less leafy in the front. The front ones have a better form really though and look a lot less coddled (because of the rubbish soil).

Here's a leaf that I love.

[Weeterrier]

I have that one Ruthie, but I don't think it has ever flowered. Don't remember if it has. Does yours flower?

[Ruthie]

Yes it does Wee. In fact it's in flower now. Did take a macro pic but deleted it as the flower was blurred. I'll try again perhaps and post it on this thread.
BTW I missed your Cornus and Trilliums 'cos I guess I was still looking at the previous page:-[ I'm so jealous! Not that I've ever tried trilliums 'cos I haven't. They're so expensive (particularly if they DO fail). I'll have to start looking in skips!!!

This is my euphorbia which needs serious thinning. They are taking over. I don't know what variety it is. It is a very pretty plant, but in small doses.

Here's Alchemilla conjuncta in flower. Specially for Weeterrier



Not particularly photogenic I'm afraid. Also not very exciting. Prefer the leaves meself!

My lovely Euphorbia Excalibur:

Hair Allium:

[Weeterrier]

I'm strangely attracted to those Plocket.

[Plocket]

They've got something haven't they? I'd never call them attractive or even eye-catching flowers, but they certainly are different! ;D

Here are my Green Tulips. I love 'em!!!

SR whats the name of that green Tulip, I know I'm a bit late asking but would be useful for next year maybe

[Ruthie]

Hi Chuckles. If I remember rightly it's called Deirdre. Goodness knows why It's been a very good doer in situ in my garden for the last 2 seasons. Wait and see if it comes up next year as Tulips tend to disappoint after a year or 2, even in my light soil.

[Chuckles]

Thanks SR have added it to my want list Poor thing being called Deirdre though, just doesn't seem right somehow

There really are some lovely green flowers on here.

[purplejulia]

My euphorbia is flourishing, but have no idea what variety as it was already in the garden when we moved three years ago.

[Chuckles]

Couple of my tulips yet to open, all my others have been and gone really, just the red are open now and these ready to open.







Several clumps of this Euphorbias are looking great atm, variety slips my mind Thought I'd taken a pic of a smaller variety too, Mmmm maybe I didn't

[Ladygardener]

Chuckles those tulips are really gorgeous. I think Euphorbia are very understated plants, the contrast between the leaves and the flowers is just lovely.

[Tig]

Meant to post this one the other day and forgot



and this for Plocket to guess

Chuckles, are those green Tulips Deidre? If not I shouldn't bother getting some as they are very similar. Mine still aren't out!! Should be in a few days though.

[Chuckles]

This one is Spring Green Ruthie and look ;D www.crocus.co.uk/plants/_/bulbs/tulips/tulipa-spring-green/ClassID.2000006008

[Plocket]

It's got to be Pixie Tig - mine looks just as lovely

[Tig]

I knew it wouldn't be a challenge for you P

I didn't know whether it would survive the winter as I didn't plant it in the most sheltered spot, so I am very pleased with it, just hope it gets a bit taller, it is only diddy at the moment

x Tig

[Plocket]

Hehe! Well having one myself helps!!

Mine was out all winter but it's in a fairly sheltered spot. Saying that it was a colder winter than expected so I think we have both been fairly lucky! I think they can get to about 1 metre although mine is a bushy 1ft at the moment. It's a baby off my old one which wasn't too happy in it's position, so hopefully this one will be happier

[Plocket]

I can't spell the name of this little beauty but if you want me to find out I'll nip out and check the label

[owdboggy]

This looks spectacular, but the flowers are only 1cm across. They are related to Ipheion and Alliums.
Tristigma nitidus

Not even sure of the name.

[Tig]

Very unusual OB - the nearest I can find is Tristigma Nivale

[owdboggy]

I have tried Googling both names without much success and that link sent my computer haywire, had to turn it off to stop it repeat loading the Picasaweb page, like 30 odd times!


Had another closer look at the growers label, under the magnifier. It says Tristagma nivalis. This does exist and looks like my plant. Interesting that there are some others in the genus, one with brown flowers!

[Tig]

I've removed the link if it was causing a problem!!

I found it by chance while looking at a species list of Tristigma (Tristagma), after first getting nothing but insect life

Found the one with brown flowers, white flowers and another with what looked like maroon ones. It must be quite a rarity OB, so one to treasure

This site has a better piccie (bottom right), and will hopefully load without incident ..

This is the Abutilon 'Orange Glow' I got at the open gardens plant sale on Saturday, just love the foliage, if it flowers that will be a bonus

Zantedeschia aethiopica "Green Goddess" -

[Rosefriend]

That is a beauty Mick - I bought "Green Goddess" for the first time this year - I can quite safely say that it doesn't look anything like that.

Is that one bulb Mick. How long have you had it??
