- Would try but the links don't work Picture 1 is a variety of HEBE - Candy Floss I think Picture 2 is Euonymous (euonymus) Picture 3 Hebe again I believe
- The link still doesn't work. Additional: When I typed that the links *didn't* work, you lame "thumbs down" wankers...
- link works fine: but i can't help with the plants..
- On page four the first picture is centred on a clump of willowherb. It's in the genus Epilobium, but I can't be sure which species of willowherb that is. It wasn't deliberately planted. It's a weed, very common throughout Britain. I checked Wikipedia and I think it is Epilobium montanum, the broad-leaf willowherb: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epilobium_montanum
- Both links work but can't help, sorry.
- I've got most of these in my garden & don't need any looking after (except pruning & watering). You've got a hebe in there. Why not take cutting to the local garden centre for identification
- Pic 3 euonymus japonicus - evergreen shrub Pic 4 & 5 lobelia annual used in hanging baskets etc Pic 6 euonymus fortunei evergreen shrub Pic 8 looks like a large sedum or possibly helichrysum selago Pic 10 looks like a weed Best I can do!
- pics very slow to show on my dial up, but I got page three, picture one.... it's barberry, prob "Rosy Glow'... the one above it is a spirea , probably "Lime Mound"... and there appears to be a gopher hole by the fence!.....I'll come back as I have time to wait for the pics... the old owner laid out a nice place for you!!.. kudos to you for wanting to keep it much as it is.....have a happy home there!!...
- 1. Spirea 'Goldflame' no special treatment needed, will go on forever. 2. can't see it properly 3. Euonymus tough as old boots 4. Lobelia this is an annual probably self seeded. 5. top of picture Euonymus 'Emerald n Gold' bottom of pic a Hebe 6 Euonymus 'Emerald n Gold' 7. Berberis thunbergii 'Atropurpurea Nana' tough as old boots 8. Difficult to see properly could be a Hebe or a heather, probably a heather. 9 another Spirea 10. Spirea on the right weed in the middle 11. Lonicera nitida tough as old boots 12 Helleborus orientalis, they flower in the winter time and do not need any special treatment. Hope this helps, happy gardening.
