I don't know what this plant is but if it seeds I would love to have some to try and grow it, It looks beautiful !

It is called "Tumbling Ted". Very pretty and spreads a lot, but is controllable.

From Kate, UK
It looks a lot like shamrock to me. It doesn't seem to need any special treatment, although it might need a drink in very dry weather.

From Jackie, UK
Definately Oxalis

From Elaine, UK
its a type of hardy geranium - cranesbill or something like that, anyway it spreads a treat and quite quickly

From Michael, UK
OXALIS

From Lynne, UK
This plant looks like Shamrock, it will grow nearly everywhere

From Ritamary, UK
It's hard to tell from the picture, but it looks like the common oxalis to me. They seem to love very sunny conditions, and tolerate dryness but get a bit leggy after a while

From Gardeners Club Member
This is pink shamrock it is prone to orange like spores which look a bit like rust and the only cure for this is digging it up and burning it .The spores grow on the underside of the leaf and then eats the whole leaf ,hope yours doesn't get it.

From Dave, UK
Leaf looks like Oxalis. Feel around under the soil and you should find very small bulblets which can be sown to propogate from.

From Flash in Brum-Brum
Now, I haven't seen this since my last trip to Midwich. Known locally as a pick-a-back daisy, it's fallen petals are a favourite of nest-building jackdaws and cuckoos. I think its latinised name is Primula Aprilia, but get up very early to catch one with its stamens showing.

I have a three headed white tulip in my garden. Actually each flower has a stem but the three stems all start from one. You can see that if you look carefully.It's not the best of pictures.My camera is not good for closeups. I have never seen this before in my 50 years of gardening. Has anyone else seen something like this before?

I hope someone can identify this plant. Flowers early May & is about 5-6"
tall. It grows on a chalk slope and I think may be a natural plant rather
than introduced.

Please help, this was given to me last year, but I was not told what it was
as the old man next door had died, I was not sure what to do with it so I
just put it in the greenhouse over the winter, It has very large leaves and
is at the moment about 2 feet high, I have no idea just what it is or what it
will turn into.

From Christine, Scotland
I have some lilies in a large pot, given to me by a friend. They have died away in the winter, and are now growing again and look similar to this - the leaves do get quite large! Eventually will flower into lovely white lilies if this plant is the same. Don't know the exact variety.

From Magz, UK
The plant is an Arum Lily,( Zantedeschia Aethiopica )it needs to be kept wet
and it should give you large cowl-shaped white blooms in summer, common name
"Crowborough".


From Margaret
I have now been told that this is a CARDIOCRINUM GIGANTEUM, It is now about
6 feet tall and should flower this year, it will then die, but leave me with
small bulbs that will take 3-4 years to flower.
Thank you for your help.
