identify plants please ?
Would like some help identifying plants in photos :=
http://s62.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=2...60YSBJQMIJWGZ9 Link will download a 1.2mb zip file contaning - "bushberry" - a shrub of some sort - about 2 years old , appeared in a pot out of nowhere. Either blew in or dropped by bird or squirrel. I want to transplant it to a bed. Is it safe to move it this time of year ? It has small orange berries appearing. "Hanging" - this is a pot i have, it's the first one i have kept all season - so i want to do the same again next year. Will these survive or do i bin them & start again ? Also no idea what they are. "Yellow" - this is growing so well I want another - it's at least 3 years old. Many thanks, Brian Day |

Many thanks, Brian Day I think you will get a better response if you link to a actual picture not to a download file.People are very cautious opening files without knowing the source. Thanks Keith |

I would say thats a 3 out of 3 there Phil, i just snipped a piece of "bushberry" and compared it with that link, i'm sure that is it - i will have a closer look at the berries tomorrow. (didn't want to pick one as there are only 2 or 3 there) One thing - will this be a 'prickly' bush as it grows ?? In that "hanging" pic. the lower one is def. a petunia - but there is also a tall (18") plant taking over the pot. Do you know that one pls ? "yellow" I dont recall if they had red tips - they may have been yellow all the way up, there is only these few short ones remaining now so i'll keep an eye on them. But the name does seem appropriate. I'm far from a keen gardener, but with a little effort this year I had a few results. Thanks Brian Day |

First shrub is a cotoneaster, cant be sure of the species from the photo, but all cotonesters are as hard as nails, so will survive the winter, and also going through the bird that dropped it!
In the tub you have a petunia at the bottom, these wont survive any frost. Above that is an ostespermum, these open and close depending whether the sunis shining or not. In the garden I am head gardener at, in bedfordshire, these are borderline hardy, so depending where you are, if you give some protection outdoors, or move to a frost free greenhouse over winter, they will make it through to next year. Last but not least is a kniphofia, or 'red hot poker', even though it is lemon yellow!! The variety looks like either 'Little Maid' or Toffee nosed'. Both are definately hardy, but in heavier soils, you may find the base of the plants may rot if sitting wet and cold for too long. You may find a covering of straw over the crown of the plant will prevent any water sitting . hope this helps, Linette www.applegategardens.co.uk (online garden design and planting plans) |
