Do you recognise these plants? 1 of 2
In message , K
writes Stewart Robert Hinsley writes Hypericum - don't recognise the species. Agreed Hypericum. Thought Tutsan at first (and from leaf colour in the background), but berries are too elongated. Ditto Rose of Sharon. Are there any other widely grown Hypericums of that size in the UK? You see cultivars with a Tutsan like habit in the garden centres every now and again. Google finds me pictures of Hypericum FLAIR(TM) (which are Tutsan cultivars, but don't have sufficiently elongated berries). Digging a bit further gets me to Hypericum x inodorum 'Elstead' which is commonly grown, and does look a reasonable match. I've seen hybrids of South American origin on sale, but none of the names in Plantfinder ring a bell, so I can't offer images for comparison. |Filename: DSCN7061.JPG | |Download: http://www.gardenbanter.co.uk/attachment.php?attachmentid=10130| Rowan, probably the native Sorbus aucuparia (the berries look a bit on the crimson/pink side, but I'll blame the camera - at least I've had trouble with correct rendition of reds in digital cameras.) If it's not that, it could be one of the pink berried ones which start quite dark red and fade to pink or white. Leaves not right for S vilmorinii else I'd go for that. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
