New here @sharonr

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, and new to forums so please be patient, not sure how to use this site.

 

Welcome to the forum!

We are all things green, magnificent colours and a large dose of common sense advice..

Well, I'm pretty much a novice too so all I can offer is goodwill and the fun love of gardening by impulse

 

thanks for the welcome canadianlori

 

When you get things sorted, try adding information to your profile. If you ask a question after that, the group will try to respond with suggestions appropriate to your growing zone.

Have a peak at my profile and others. Then have fun with yours!

 

Welcome to Gardeners Corner

 

I'm fairly new and I have never known such a great bunch of people. All I'll say is enjoy ☺

 

Thank you all for making me feel so welcomed..

 

I have a couple of plants that I do not know what they are, the shop I brought them from he didn't no what they are . How can you sell flowers/plants and not know..
Im not great with names myself, but I do find I'm very good at bringing plants back from the brink. ( actually I'm cheap and like a bargain and challenge so I buy mostly dying plants )

this one the flowers close at night around 6.30 with out fail, and open in the morning around 6.30-7am. the leaves are furry and they constantly flower from around March/April to September/ October.View attachment 72388

These two thier leaves get really big and I get one set of flowers from each leaf stem yellow flowers from the green leaf and a red flower from the darker leaf.
And it has one massive bulb.

 

Hello and welcome to the forum!

The pink flowered one is a cistus... I thought it was from the picture, but then your description of the less-than-one-day flowers clinched it! My hubby doesn't see the point of cistus, as all he ever sees is the mess of the fallen petals. I tell him he should get home from work earlier!

The giant-leaved plants - outside my expertise, but I'm guessing at canna?

The experts will be along shortly!!

 

thanks zigs

The pink flowers they open up in the morning at sunlight. Such a delicate flower.
