What's this growing? - part 3

Just a few more common perennials emerging in the garden - there are no tricks here. But have a guess. I will put the names up in a couple of days.


1 Tanacetum coccinea. Spot on SusexG.


2 Origanum laevigarten Herrenhausen. Again spot on.


3 Nepeta faassinii, cat mint


4 Lobelia Queen Victoria


5 Helenium


6 Echinacea purpurea. This does look dead, but I make no apology - the purpose was to show what common perennials look like at the moment, just as much as a quiz. And Echinacea is a major player.


7 Digitalis - quite right Plantsman. Though I am not sure I would know it from Vebascum - if it wasn't for its location. I should have had that in as well for comparison.


8 Circium rivulare. Again correct Plantsman.


9 Campanula poscharskyana. You probably meant this as the ground cover one SussexG. Though I would call it mound forming.


10 Yes Aconitum

 

These are more difficult Peter....

1 Tannacetum
2 Looks a bit like the Origano Herrenhausen I have, but I don't think it is...
3 Nepeta (Catmint)
4 Lobelia
5 Aster
6 Dead?!!
7 Mullein/Verbascum
8 No idea, although the dead vegetation around it looks like what I have since cleared from Astrantia...
9 Campanula (the ground cover one)?
10 Cranesbill again?

I see you STILL haven't started weeding!:D

 

7 Digitalis
8 Cirsium
10 Aconitum ?

Rest I agree with Aaron or dont know

 

Hmmmm, 7 does look like Foxglove...I never get a chance to see it in the garden as the slugs usually devour them first

 

Again well done - between you you got nearly everything.

The names are now up.

 

I would never have recognised the Helenium Peter...but then mine are a little more developed than yours:D

I recognise Aconitum now, seeing as I bought one yesterday:dh:

A good thread Peter. I might have a good myself tomorrow...and slip a few lesser known things in there:thumb:

 

i enjoyed this thread - a tutorial for me!!

thank you

loopy

 

Thanks loopy loo. Its actually been a useful exercise for myself. I will have to keep these photos safely somewhere. I tend to recognise plants by their flowers, and am poor with foliage, let alone buds.

 

I created a garden plan a year or so ago, with it all properly marked out where I had planted what.

Then I went and lifted and moved stuff, so I still get a surprise in Spring when something reappears.
