Hello,
I found this wild rose briar on the headland of an oilseed rape field. Do you know what the moss like ball is that is attatched to the stalk? It is quite heavy and solid and looks like moss.
thank you

Hi…This shrub was in a sorry state when I decided to rescue it from Woolworths….it was labeled as a lilac. The stems are brittle/white at the base and soft/green at top. This is its second year and is now nearing 5 foot tall. Leaves are pale/mid green, slight ribbing, edges very slightly serrated, no sign of flowers. I would appreciate it if someone could positively identify it so I can prune it at the right time.

I have attached a photograph of what I have always believed to be a Lily. However, the spread of broad leaves fanning from the base and the smooth stem which supports the flower heads make me wonder. I brought this from our old house over twelve years ago and it has only just grown sufficiently to flower for the first time at the new house. Don't be distracted by the irises growing in front. Can anyone identify this species?

Thank you

Hi
Would like to identify this potted shrub mainly because I want to know if I can prune it into a better shape and when.
It is normally kept indoors but is outside at the moment because of the hot weather. I also suspect it could do with repotting but a much bigger pot and I won't have room for it indoors.
Any help or suggestions would be welcome
Sandy

I found this plant growing between paving stones in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I took a cutting which I planted in a hanging basket last year. This year it has self-seeded between the slabs of my patio. The leaves resemble those of Tradescantia, but are much more delicate.

Could anyone please help me to know if this is a weed or not it has sprung up in at least 4 places in my back garden has heart shaped leaves and is compact in natures about 12 inches across x 6 inches in height. Each dark green leaf has three seeds joined in the middle to form a kind of star shape.
I would like to know if it is a weed or not especially due to its propagating so fast.

Can anybody identify this plant which I grew from seed I brought back from somewhere in the Med ? I have easily reproduced it from its own seed. It loves the heat and humidity of the greenhouse but will survive outside in the summer

From Andrzej, UK
It's a castor oil plant, Ricinus communis. Please note that the seeds are very poisonous.

From Howard, UK
It appears to be Ricinus. Ricinus communis is the true castor oil plant Our own plants were grown from seeds brought back from the Mediterranean. We have seen the plant on several occasions both in the UK and France where it featured in formal displays in public gardens. There are several cultivars and your photo suggests it maybe one of these because of the colour of the flowers.
The plant is only half hardy.
The seeds of Ricinus are the source of caster oil. However the aqueous extract of the seed is toxic, it is the source of the toxin ricin. You can find details on the RHS (Royal Horticultural Society) website.

Hi can you help me with this plant – I have no idea what it is or how it arrived in my garden.
Flowers are small and purple coming down in strings to a small white bell shaped flower at the end. There are also small purple clusters of berries amongst the purple flowers. The flower hangs like that of a laburnum with each “string” of blooms starting with purple flower and berries and then a slight gap (about quarter of an inch) until the white bell. This plant has stems similar to bamboo with the distinctive circles around the stem about 12 to 18 inches apart. Stem is also hollow.
Leaves are light green, broad at middle and coming to a point at the end (probably too broad to be of the bamboo family).
Very fast growing about 10 to 12 feet high and very bushy in just two seasons.
