Plant Problems...

... can anyone help me out with these please... struggling to put a name to them :(:cnfs:









thankyou, much appreciated :thmb::D

 

First photo looks like Verbena bonariensis (http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/961.shtml) and second probably Salvia officinalis 'Purpurascens' (http://www.bbc.co.uk/gardening/plants/plant_finder/plant_pages/7646.shtml) I'm not sure of the 3rd one but the 4th is erm.. well I thought it might of been a Japanese anemone but now I'm not so sure as it has only four petals:cnfs:

 

It does look like a japanese anemone in habit but the flower and bud are actually more like a battered californian poppy, Eschscholzia californica. Mutants form Mars?


Eschscholzia californica 'Ivory Castle'
(please,notice the name of the cultivar :D)

Are there other species of Eschscholzia?

 

Hi again ara06bb,
could you post a photo of the 4th plants leaves please? as it might give a few more clues to what it is:thumb:

@Ivory: I was thinking of Californian poppy as well but from what I remember of them they were always more bushy plants and the flower stem in the photo looks more upright?

 

hey kalmia... as u requested a pic of #4's leaves...
hope it helps and thanks for the help with the others :thmb::D
much appreciated

 

Search me. I have no idea what it is, but wow do I love those leaves.

 

You've got me stumped as well:cnfs:

 

yeah i thought that, but the annoying thing is thats whats throwing me... i can find a few plants that match the flower but when i comes to the leaves its no go... :(

 

well give it a little while longer on here as there are plenty of other members who might have a better idea of what it is:thumb:

 

Hi ara06bb, 'tis Eomecon (Snow Poppy). Beware! It spreads like mad with underground runners, it even came up through my decking! It's fairly easy to pull up though and it is very pretty.

 

Wow Blackthorn, you are the best!!!

 

That's very kind of you Ivory, thanks.
