Wotsit? Volunteer flowers...
I planted four tamarind beans in some reclaimed peat, and a rash of
seedlings appeared, and as I didn't recognise them, I let them grow. They have started to bloom, and I still don't know what they are. The open ones are yellow, but a number of magenta buds are not far behind. Anyone care to identify them for me, please? (The orange ones are begonias - even I know that...) http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/wotsit001.jpg http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hi-fi/wotsit002.jpg -- Rusty horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co full-stop uk |
