A Couple for Identification help

Just had a walk up to our local GC , and saw these two plants on the cafe patio area. As they had no identity label - just rather hefty price tags - I wondered if anyone on here could help. Took the pics with a mobile so not top quality or colour.

TIA

PLANT 1

PLANT 2

 

I think the first one could be a fatsia, don't know about the second, but it is very pretty.

 

Poor quality? You want to see my mobile pics:rolleyes: Anyway, no help but I agree with Celia ie dont know, very pretty:o Hope someone sorts it for you and then you can find them at a decent price:thumb:

cheers

 

The first pic is a fatsia japonica,Have not got a scooby about the second one.

 

I agree that the first one is a fatsia. The second one is a member of the nightshade family. It is a popular plant - I just wish I could remember the name at the moment. :D

 

2nd one looks like a solanum, i'm sure someone will be able to narrow it down from there. a very quick search found this one amongst others. Solanum Rantonnetii

 

Hope that this helps you Smiffy, Glen put me on the right track.

Thanks All -
the Fatsia checks out. But does anyone know the type of Solanum ? I have a Solanum Glasnerium a very nice shrub with purple flowers , but the flowers are not as many as the photos of mine and WOOs. My Solanum flowers in clusters not evenly distributed like this. By the way the price for this was £40 in a planter with some Bacopia ! :eek:

 

I definitely agree with the Solanum rantonnetii .... mine is a treelet about 10 foot tall because I keep it trimmed to that .... but here are a few flowers ....

 

Lovely Woo and Sis.

You probably have to bring yours indoors in the winter, don't you Woo?

Sis, that is the one to the right of the gate on the garden side, isn't it`?

 

Sorry Glenw missed the Solanum type at the end of your post :thumb: Must stop my speed reading !
So in 1 hour and 4 minutes both identified. Thats perfect.....must track one down at a more reasonable price.
Thanks LOL for the confirmation on type and Kedi-gato that its by the garden gate-------blooming amazing !!!
