I think that is a Buttercup.

Any thoughts on this, feel free to tell me I'm cherishing a weed (not the first time that has happened  ). Came as a spare seedling with my SR order last year, pulled it out when it started to get a bit big and potted it on, just in case.  Been there done that many times Jilly, one day I hope to get some wonderful plant  for free. My first thought was Buttercup |

Managed to get a fair few in the garden last year Jilly - the roots can go to China - good that it's in a tub!! |

 Thanks owdboggy, Chuckles, Rosefriend, good thing I checked before I planted it out  . In my defence buttercups aren't a weed that I get (& I've got quite enough weeds without introducing a new one), so I didn't recognise it. |

I am happy to share some of my buttercups with you Jilly! Rabbits don't like buttercups - in fact, they're not keen on many weeds. How ironic is that! |

 Great one Jilly, besides they do get pretty butter yellow flowers. And it is always better to at least try when you are uncertain. What if it had been something truly good that would have made us all green with envy....

I think this is a trillium! Not got a clue which one though as it is a while since I bought a mixed bare root collection - so pleased if it is, one is better than none!  |

Definitely a Trillium. May take a few more seasons to flower though.

Whooo hooo  I can wait, it is was gardening is all about, being patient  I wish I had kept the list of what was supposed to be in the collection, I might have been able to identify which one it is. The label doesn't help, it is just muddy. |

I'm sure someone will be able to identify it when it flowers Tig.  |

Olaf has loads of wonderful Trillum - can you get a really close up/sharp pic and I will ask him if he has any ideas Tig, - might have to wait until it flowers though??!! |

I will see if I can take one in the morning before the sun gets on the bed, typically it is right in the middle of a wide border, which is probably why it survived, too difficult for me to get in and dig there  Thanks RF. |

Rosefriend I took this today, used the zoom on the camera. It has quite distinctive markings and leaf colour.

What an absolute beauty Tig........wonderful. I will send Olaf the pic, I hope he has an idea!!! |

Post by owdboggy on Apr 2, 2016 7:35:52 GMT
Trillium kurabayashii would be my guess, most often included in mixtures. Or perhaps a form of T. chloropetalum.

Olaf is also at the guessing point and says that he would post a pic on the Trillium Facebook group and ask there - he says it is one of this favourite groups there and has learnt a lot from them!! They must be good then Tig,!! |

Has the label next to it really lost all writing?

Post by Tig on Apr 2, 2016 12:35:06 GMT
Yes Dutchy, it is just mud spattered! I wrote in pencil and that label may not even be the one that marked the trillium! |

Oh dear well at least you do still have the label.... |

I have had another look at the label, it can just make out trillium and it looks like the second bit ended in lum or tum  |

Choropetalum - that is "lum" anyway... Trillium cuneatum has those lovely markings on the leaves Tig, !! That's the "tum"!!! Hahahahaha!! |

I know what this plant is, I grew it from seed, it's a hellebore But, it is nothing like its siblings! I think it must have crossed with another one - it is growing a bit like a palm at the moment. Does it look like heleborus foetidus to anyone else?  |

Easy enough to find out, put some rubber gloves on and crush a leaf. The smell is unmistakable. Gloves? Well you would not want your hands to smell of it and it does not wash off!
It does look like H. foetidus to me though.

Could it be onoclea sensibilis copper form? (I'm off to find my rubber gloves and go leaf crushing a hellebore ) |

How did the crushing go Tig, itreminded me of when I was trying to identify if I had young alliums growing  Must update this years progress on them if I can find the thread. |

Great one Jilly, besides they do get pretty butter yellow flowers.
