Help with flower ID please???
Hi,
I'm currently cataloguing the plants in my garden. (89 so far) I've come a cross one I don't know the name of. I hoping someone can tell me both the botanical name and the common name. I've seen it a lot of local gardens (north of Scotland) where it seems to grow without much care at all. In fact some of you may prefer to call it a weed than a garden flower. If it is a weed it's a nice one and I'll be giving it permission to stay regardless The plant is herbaceous and grows to about 3' with purple flower spikes. Individual flowers are only about 8 to 10 mm across. Here's a link to a photo showing the flower spike and leaves. http://web.onetel.net.uk/~haggis63/flower-view1.jpg ....and here's a closer view of the individual flowers. http://web.onetel.net.uk/~haggis63/flower-view2.jpg Alan Melville (BTW I tried posting this from another account 4 hours ago but it didn't appear, even though posts to other groups worked fine. If it turns up here twice, I sincerely apologise) |
