1st three letters are the same as the 1st three letters of a gas.

As if that narrows it down any!  Now where should I start? Oxygen, hydrogen, neon, methane, butane, propane, helium, argon, krypton ;D |

Well it is not any of those, but two of them are used for the same purpose when camping.

Well the Calo bit is correct!

I can only find one plant beginning with 'Calo' which is in the Allium family and it has been in the Plant Finder since at least 2006 so it is not a totally new or newly named thing.

I am ready to pull my hair out.....one last guess from me....Caloscordum

Caloscordum nerinifolium it is.

Thanks OB.. This is probably far too easy - I have just taken a pic of the one in my garden...I love this plant although it can be a little unruly.  RF |

I couldn't find anything in any of my books starting with 'calo' - never thought to look at the RHS plant finder The leaves look a bit like a ceanothus RF x Tig |

If you have not heard of a white form then perehaps my idea is wrong. I will wait and see what others come up with. I think I have confused you good folks often enough for the present.

Post by Rosefriend on Aug 6, 2010 7:41:36 GMT
Confused OB - nay, - given us headaches trying to think of what plant it is, given us sore finger tips from searching through all our books and wrist ache from using the mouse to google for info.....but confused us - never!!
As far as I know the plant is not available in white or pink (shame) - well, when I google it all I get is the red ones.

Defo not what I was thinking then as we have a white version of the one I was considering and a pink one too.

Post by Ruthie on Aug 15, 2010 12:43:47 GMT
Well as you're stuck I'll have a guess.....Sanguisorba I think. Probably officinalis. I've just been hunting round in mine forthe label and found a piece which said guiso ;D. Got it from that!
|
|
|
|
Post by Rosefriend on Aug 15, 2010 13:19:13 GMT
Yep that's the one Ruthie - Sanguisorba officinalis - mine says "Tanna" on the label..
Does it come n other colours - I would love it in white??
Over to you then..

Yes I believe there is a white one but a different variety.
Oh oh I ain't got a pic. Will go have a looksee.

Post by Ruthie on Aug 15, 2010 16:02:03 GMT
Well I just know you'll get this straight away but I just can't find anything I haven't posted before!  |

Post by owdboggy on Aug 16, 2010 20:19:42 GMT
I was correct, Sanguisorba canadensis comes in white and pink. Similar but the flower heads are much longer,

Post by Tig on Aug 17, 2010 14:27:14 GMT
I'll have a wild guess at paulownia tomentosa?
|
|
|

Post by Ruthie on Aug 17, 2010 19:48:13 GMT
Nope....Sorry Tig. Good guess though, I can see the similarity!

Post by Rosefriend on Aug 20, 2010 5:48:16 GMT
I'm not getting anywhere really - I seem to know it but can't for the life of me remember the name...not unusual for me though!!
