Saintpaulia - African violet?

From Don, UK
Looks like Streptocarpus “Rosebud” although I have to say the flowers look a little darker than one would expect.Dibleys at Llanelidan, Ruthin, North Wales are the only commercial propagators that I know of.Telephone No 01978790677. Hope this Helps.

From Andy, UK
Hi I believe your plant is possibly a Gloxinia or Sinningia. Indoor plant. Keep in bright light but not full sun water from the bottom only and do not mist leaves or flowers. Feed fortnightly with baby bio. Overwinter in a cool room and it will flower again next year. Hope this helps.

From Pauline, UK
From the photo it looks like a primula. It comes in all colours and It's part of the primrose family. Hope this helps.

Hi there,

We’ve been wondering how to identify this weed growing in our garden, and it seems like your website may hold the answer. Enclosed are two photos of the plant in question. What you can’t see on the photos are the large spikes on the back of the leaves.

From Chris, UK
It is a Teasel

From Allan, UK
M y garden was over run with these plants 2 years ago. They appeared from nowhere grow six feet tall and I am still weeding them out now. I believe they belong to the cowslip family.

From Andy, UK
Hi I believe this is a Teasel (Dipsacus fullonum) grows to about 7 foot. Hope this helps

From Michael, UK
Its a Weed TEASEL

From Evan
It's a Teasel, which will grow in height very quickly. Finches will love
it's seedhead,but it will spread everywhere.

From Jacqueline, UK
Hi, The plant you submitted to gardeners newsletter is a Teesle ( spelling might be wrong) It can grow to about 8 to 10 feet .The flower is a large ball similar to a thistle except the whole ball is a mass of very small flowers, which are arctually the plants seeds
Hope this helps

Looks like a dock weed

From Lisa, UK
It looks a lot like the teasel I have growing in my back garden. In mid to late summer small purple flowers should appear on a spiny cone at the top of the plant. It can grow up to six feet.

I have this plant on my desk at home and I have not been able to identify it. I would really like to know what it is so I know I am taking care of it properly and to research its family history.

From Judy
A lilly called zantaditia not sure about spelling.Large waxy white flowers.

From Denise
Could it be an Alocasia – sometimes known as Elephant Ears?

From Gardeners Club Member, UK
I have an anthurium, also known as flamingo-flower, which has leaves like that one..produces red flowers when it feels like it.

I bought a mixed flower basket that the high school FFA class put together. I forgot to ask what the plants were and can't identify one of them. Please help me identify this trailing plant. I've searched the web with no luck.

From Julie, UK
I think this plant is a LOFUS, an annual trailing or climbing plant. I have one that looks the same but mine has bright pink flowers.

Hi - this plant is a bulb/corm but have no idea what it is - any suggestions??

From John, UK
To identify from a photo with no reference as to size is very difficult but the leaves and thick stems suggest to me a Fatsia ( Castor Oil plant ). Usually grown as a house plant but it is fully hardy in the UK. I have had one in my garden for 10 years now and have to chop it back every year as it is a rampant grower. I live on the N.E. coast ( near Middlesbrough. Not the warmest of places.

Hi. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me the name of this plant so I can be sure of the best way to care for it. I inherited it off a friend a couple of years ago. He used to call it the “cheese plant” but I have looked these up and don’t think this is right.
Many thanks.

From Marian, UK
Avacado plant I think.

From Sharron, UK
It looks like Ficus lyrata (the Fiddle-leaf fig)

From Jan, UK
Looks like an avocado plant - anyone confirm?

From John, UK
Could it be the Swiss Cheese Plant? Go to :

From Andrzej, UK
I don't know what it is, but it definitely is not an Avocado plant - I have one in my greenhouse.
