Hm those are indeed mystery plants Is number 3 scented? It somehow resembles Night scented stock. Or a phlox.
No 2 I think could be Arenaria balearica but the petals seem different
No 4 might be Ranunculus ficaria probably "Flore pleno"

2 and 3 are Phlox but which ones?
No4 is either a Euryops or an Anthemis?
|

Post by Tig on Nov 14, 2008 12:55:28 GMT
No 4 petals look right for anthemis rather than euryops, but the centres look a bit small to me  |

No. 4 has been positivley id'd as Euryops acraeus Ta.

;D Shall I try some more wrong answers? I won't try no 5 then as I think Beanie has that correct 2 Phlox condensata? 1 Cardaria Draba? as this is much bigger than yours ;D |

Ok thanks for trying. Between here and elsewhere I think I have names for all but the first one.
No 2 is Phlox Ice mountain
No 3 is Phlox divaricata
No 4 Euryops acraeus
No 5 Polemonium caeruleum album (?)
Only 245 to go!

May I post some more of them or is that too cheeky? Please do OB, you even had me at it yesterday looking for No 1 in my RHS Enc  I'm rubbish at plant names and would be well chuffed if I ever got one, I look at Name That Plant recognise some, but  |

No 1 is defying all attempts at id. Annoying thing is that I have a name on the tip of my tongue for it, but........... |

are you ready for this mouthful. Pterocephalus, there are two on this page . the leaves look the same but the flowers aren't so round so I'm not convinced it's the right onehttp://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.botgarten.uni-tuebingen.de/tiki/show_image.php%3Fname%3DPterocephalus_perennis_2_SM.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.botgarten.uni-tuebingen.de/tiki/tiki-index.php%3Fpage%3DAlpinenhaus&usg=__cI2aGgbGy5mL7xPVegX9PQVZJoM=&h=151&w=200&sz=32&hl=en&start=100&tbnid=Z6B-dYSxx4db4M:&tbnh=79&tbnw=104&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpterocephalus%26start%3D90%26gbv%3D2%26ndsp%3D18%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DN

Sorry Beanie. We have Pterocephalus perennis and it is definitely pink rather than white as that one is. Thanks anyway.

At first I thought maybe Narcissus Mint Julep but it is not. |

The clematis could be a montana type I suppose - it looks like one I've seen called Freda  |
|

Post by beanie on Nov 18, 2008 10:11:15 GMT
I thought the clematis may be minuet but that flowers later in the year
|

Post by owdboggy on Nov 18, 2008 10:54:53 GMT
Clematis montana Freda I will look up. We have C. Minuet and that is a later flowerer and has more white in the flower than this one. Ta.

Ok me on the Narcis again.
Could it be Narcis Jonquilla "Pipit" ?

Love those Iris you have OB, they really are amazing plants, such detail when you look at them. I thought I'd bookmarked a site link that was posted on here once over, it had an amazing selection of Iris and would have been great to try and ID some of the ones you have posted. I'll probably come across it at some point, unless anyone else recalls it |

Thanks for the links. It is a very difficult thing to look through these sites and match a picture to a picture though, is it not?

Post by Chuckles on Dec 16, 2008 8:17:51 GMT
I've looked through that Iris site I posted OB and couldn't see any of the Iris We don't seem to be doing very well with this 2nd batch of pics. Maybe we'll have more success with the next lot  |

Post by owdboggy on Dec 16, 2008 17:09:38 GMT
Hope so. I must get round to making up a posting of some more. Very grateful though and at least I think the Narcissus is correct, so it is one off the anon list.
