I think I mentioned this somewhere else, when I sowed a few cosmos versailles tetra the seeds all looked the same. When the seedlings appeared at the same time they all looked the same. When I potted them on though I noticed one was definitely not a cosmos! Any idea what it could be? Sorry the pics aren't brill   |

First one is centaurea montana - there are several cultivars with different flower colour (I have amethyst in snow and a dark on), the most common one is a purply blue colour. The second one does look like comfrey to me  |

I've seen something like that before Tig and I've had it in the garden...can't remember what it turned out to be although I have "nettles" in the back of my mind - not stinging ones though... Barbara - cornflower...Centaurea montana I reckon !! Snap with Tig.... Anyone know what these seedlings are please...   RF |

They look more like Eryngium leaves to me.

Post by Tig on Apr 23, 2014 18:37:35 GMT
My eryngium seedlings have more oval, less serated leaves, and I have some hellebore seedlings that are almost identical to those above. If it wasn't tipping it down I'd pop out and take a piccie  |

Aubretia, Alyssum is usually yellow at this time of year. They do look very nice grown together...yellow and purple look super together.

Does anyone have any idea what I've got growing here please? It was growing in a pot that has 2 fuchsias in it and I pulled it out then wondered if it was a baby fuchsia and potted it up. Then it started to grow those slightly serrated leaves so now I just don't know. I have been known to nurture a goat willow until I recognised it and composted it but I don't think I'm doing that this time!  |

Nothing springs to mind Jas, although it is similar to the 'cosmos' seedling I am growing on  Are the leaves hairy on the undersides? |

Post by Rosefriend on Apr 30, 2014 10:30:19 GMT
Somehow it looks familiar Jasmine but why I don't know..reminds me of a willow (salix) seedling.. I have just been shopping and ended up at a GC and bought the Hosta below - definitely a Hosta said the bloke there but I haven't a clue what if so...lovely red stems - does anyone have an idea please??   Rf |

The leaves are very veined Tig and not at all hairy. It wouldn't surprise me if I were growing on some sort of tree Rosefriend - wouldn't be the first time! I really, really thought I'd got a fuchsia from seed. Oh well, time will tell. It's a very handsome hosta Rosefriend but I've no idea which one it might be. |

It could be 'One Man's Treasure', or more likely 'Red October' as the underside of the leaves look whitish Rosefriend |

I think it could be the Red Oktober when I look at the pics in Google.... 'One Man's Treasure' looks to be a very good variety as well... Thanks Tig. RF |

I have googled and there really are some wonderful varieties...

Is anyone able to help with half an ID please?  Not the left hand plant - that's my rescued Lavender Little Lady looking much better for a good drink. Every nook and cranny in Heathfield is covered in the grass on the right. I am hoping I'm right and it's a form of Briza that's self-seeded all over the place. It's interesting as I then read that it doesn't like root disturbance and I just pulled a few clumps out of very dry ground! Is there a way of knowing if it is Briza Maxima or Briza Media? I love the way the seed heads bob in the breeze! If anyone wants some seed in a bit let me know! |
